Desmogging a 3FE, Air Pump Bracket Removal (1 Viewer)

[meatloaf]

I am in the process of desmogging a 3FE, I removed the air pump but debating whether to pull off the bracket as well. I know leaving it will not interfere with anything but want to remove it for aesthetics. So are the two bolts holding it down any longer than the other head bolts?

maybe...the parts diagram shows that two bolts are longer, but it doesn't say which ones. Do you have a service manual for the 3fE engine? I have one I downloaded from AUS, and it doesn't show different length bolts...maybe AUS doesn't have AI pump.

I would assume the two bolts on the bracket are longer…. I don’t have a service manual
