I drop these engines out the bottom. But... the "bolt" that is giving you problems is attached to the a/c bracket. You need to pull the compressor and bracket in order to clear

that bolt can be removed, at least on mine it does. Right at the bracket the bolt isnt round so a wrench can grab it and loosen it.
But yeah i would have already taken the compressor off and left the lines attatched and just pulled it out of the way so u dont have to worry about recharging ur AC if its hooked up that is

Use a 14mm deep socket or box end wrench. Remove that stud. Also...why is the A/C compressor still attached? The more stuff you remove off the engine, the easier it is to pull. I remove the header, all brackets, and the A/C compressor (because I like having A/C and there's no need to pull off the lines to remove the motor).
