I'm probably about 1/3 of the way through a head gasket replacement, but I'm currently stuck on the power steering and a/c bracket. I know where the three bolts are, I've got the power steering pulley off so I can access them all, but how should I hang this bracket while it's off? I'd really rather not disconnect the two pumps if I don't have to, especially considering I just put fresh refrigerant in the a/c. Is there some clever way to hang this whole bracket out of the way while I'm taking my heads out?

This is how things are looking for reference, currently my only thought was to find two or three solid places to hang some wire between and hang the bracket on that

I placed a piece of square alum tubing across the fender rails. Then used a ratchet strap to support the accessory bracket.

That sounds good, but would I be able to close the hood like that? I'm not certain whether or not the heads will be able to go back on the same day the come off, and the car is just out in my driveway. Rather not leave to hood open overnight
