Thanks for that Gary. I can see the bolts on the flange (manifold) end and the allen screw at the top of the oil filter. But I don't see another bracket below / behind the oil filter housing. I can partially see where the tube curves behind the head but no bracket. The engine wiring harness obstructs the view behind there. Moving those wires give me some pause although the harness has been replaced in this car.

Is the bracket under the wiring harness?

I spotted the 2nd bracket but not the screw... Trying to figure out how to remove that one. Getting it back on could be a challenge.

Thanks again,
