OMP & filter tower removal

What's the best way to go about removing both of these? I have the O-rings for both.

The filter tower has two nuts underneath, probably 10mm. I can't seem to find a good way to get to them though. I've tried a small wrench, ratchet, and crow's foot without success.

With the OMP, I've removed the air box and air pump. I had to fight the grease just to get to the unit, but wasn't sure how to get it off. I saw 4 bolts to the oil lines and another attaching it to the block, but I'm sure I missed a few in the muck.

Any suggestions on how to remove either would help. The car is up, so even working from the bottom is feasible.

If you can shoot from underneath, it's a straighter shot.
Else, I use a box wrench with a 12-point end to crank it in short turns.

I think there are 3 bolts that hold it into place.
I think they are 10mm(?) flange head bolts?
Since you got the E-OMP, I know one is on top and hiding back there.
A ratch with short extension 6"(?) should be able to shoot back there.
Don't touch the banjo bolts that hold the oil lines onto the OMP!
