Yeh you have to take off the air pump bracket or at least loosen it off as it uses one of the three thermostat bolts to mount it. and to take that off you have to loosen of the air pump to get the belt loose and there are three bolts in that but you might be able to get it off by just undoing the top one. Then its a tight squeeze forward and up, and you obviously drain the coolant and then undo you heater hoses and top radiator hose at the thermostat housing.
