I'll have to try again, the wiper reservoir did not seem to want to come out with the air filter in the way.

Why remove that? All of the bolts involved are vertical. 3 on the engine side and 2 on the frame. You don't need to remove the bracket.

He’s been here since 2008, maybe he’s just busy or forgot us.

I'm here, but time is sometimes hard to come by. Orders of stuff I personally have to build are way up and I've not looked at the mount since I first asked. I was able to get all the bolts and nuts off no problem, but I could not remove the mount because there is stuff in the way, air filter housing, wiper reservoir or both.

I don't know how the washer bottle could be involved.
Can't you just remove the cold air intake duct?

Here's a shot straight down. It appears that the airbox is not in the way, it's offset back from the edge of the engine by at least an inch, although the male part that the duct clips to probably extends almost that far.. Washer bottle, maybe the little blue part is in the way. Duct from fender to the airbox, definitely in the way.

This thread is just going in circles. IF the OP’s air filter box is in the way then just remove it. Can’t get it off, get someone else to.
Not getting the 20 questions on this. It’s a simple R and R job on the front engine mount. Just do it.

Well not quite so simple, as the airbox insulators are no longer available. So it's much better to NOT remove the airbox.

I’ve seen those insulators when I had my air filter box off. Nothing super special about them. They may not be available from Chevrolet but I’ll bet you can find something similar at a hardware store or online.
