HOw on earth do you make enough room to solder the lower TMAP harness?

I can remove the front bumper, intercooler, the cold side pipe,
Is there anything else i should remove to get enough room. Also keep in mind I have large hands.

this is how the tmap was installed. The harness was run between the compressor and the a/c hard line.

 

That harness has a few other plugs on it that you can unplug and pull the harness closer to you.

 

My wiring seems to have been mounted in a little different location. Then again, the tech may have moved it when he put in the plug-n-play harness.

Your motor is so clean! and what is that black bracket?

 

Keeps the lower charge pipe an equal distance away from the compressor.When the motor torques and "leans", that bracket will push the charge pipe away just a little. Don't want the compressor smushing my Tmap wires.
Been on there about 18 months, no problems. Thought it looked better than some of those other brackets I've seen on this forum.
Clean engine. Yeah. I don't drive mine in rainy or wet road conditions. Dry days only.

 

I just soldered and flipped my lower TMAP harness this weekend so hopefully that will be a non-issue for me.
My HHR was bought as a second car to cart my 2 kids around, and for family trips. Rain, Sleet or Snow. I got it as a fun work horse.
