When I did this, I disconnected the PS lines at the rack and pulled the pump, bracket, and lines as an assembly. The PS cooler needs to come out too. The radiator does not need to come out to pull the rack but you will have to remove the EBCM bracket and move the unit out of the way. You will need to pry on the rack but be VERY careful when doing it so that you don't bend or break the mounting ears off of the aluminum cradle.

I did not have to loosen the cradle bolts like Magnuson shows - I think you need to do this to pull the rack out of the driver's side, but I was able to get mine out by moving the rack towards the passenger side and then out the bottom. I think LS1Howto recommends just moving the rack to the passenger side out of the way. I found it easier just to take the rack completely out of the car by first bringing the rack forward and then tilting it down and out on the passenger side. Once the driver's side of the rack clears the EBCM, bring the rack back towards the drivers side and out the bottom. It requires the rack to be twisted as it comes out if that makes sense. Make sure you have enough clearance on each side of the car to pull the rack. PM me if you need more info.

Also, use a GOOD line wrench on the fittings, the cheap ones will bend before you can get it tight enough. The hardest part of the job for me was reaching the fittings through the driver's side wheel well.

One more thing, make absolutely sure the steering wheel doesn't move after the rack is disconnected from the column.
