remove the belt.
disconnect battery
Remove the alternator
remove the AC compresso and just set to the side as best you can.
Use a socket through the pulley to remove the 2 bolts holding the pump to the mounting bracket. You can now get to the lines on the back of the pump. remove and you are home free.
reverse to reassemble.

You dont need to remove the AC compressor or alternator. It helps but is not neccessary. Here is how I do it.
Remove belt.
Loosen the high pressure line where the hose attaches to the steel tube that runs around the pump.
Remove the pump feed hose from the pump. Catch any fluid left in a container.Do not reuse any fluid.
Remove the two 13mm headed bolts that hold the pump to the bracket. Access the bolts through the holes in the face of the pulley.
Remove the pump from the car. You may need to remove the MAF,tube and whatever filter you are running to get the pump out through the top. It drops out the bottom if you are running a stock IC.
R&R the pulley.
Reverse procedure to reinstall. Add the correct PS fluid and bleed the air out of the system and you should be ready to go.

A follow-up question related to replacing the 86 Power Steering Reservoir and feed line:
I am hoping I can get to the bottom part of the feed line without removing anything (AC or ?) - otherwise, seems pretty simple. Am I missing anything?
This is the technical bulletin guidance from 1987 to eliminate the power steering groan/moan.
