engine removal help - down to the last bolt

but it won't come out. It's the bolt that holds the securing bracket of one of the AC lines to the AC pump. The bold head bumps up against the frame.

I seem to have two options...

1> pull the engine just a little bit to finish removing the bolt ( and reverse for install, which I'll forget).
2> cut the securing bracket.

I'm leaning toward option two right now, unless somebody can tell me what the secret move is to get this thing out.

I'm including a photo that will hopefully make my rambling more clear.

I thought of that, but I've seen pics of people pulling the engine, and replacing it, with the ac bolted up, so I figured I should be able to do it. AC is fried anyway...
