Its the bolt on the rear of the drivers head. A/C isn't in the way but its a very tight space. Plus the bolt is almost broken off flush against the head leaving me no room to grab it.

Does anyone have the phone # to GM head of engineering for 2002?

Always excited to be in a new club lol.
After looking at it today I've devised a new plan that will hopefully work the fastest since I'm occupying a space at my shop. I'm going to remove the header again, unbolt the left motor mount, jack it up a little bit and hope that I can fit a 90* angle drill with a starter bit(much smaller in length). Then try to use my bolt extracters to persuade it out. I'll be doing this tomorrow night so I will post up on how it goes.
