power brake booster difficulty

im having trouble getting my power brake booster out to replace it and im open to suggestions. okay, ive got it out of the fire wall mostly. the linkage is still through by an inch or two. ive moved the ignition and the master cylinder but im just not finding the room to shift it out that extra bit. i would prefer not to go about diconnecting everything around it, so if theres something im missing that anyone can think of that would be cool.
yes, the linkage is disconnected from the brake, the vacuum hose is disconnected, the master cylinder is disconnected. im not missing something like that.

You have everything disconnected, and it's just not fitting? What's in the way?

it seems to be mashing into the ignition mount. having a good amount of trouble trying to get to the bolt for that tho.

I just ran out to my car in the parking lot.

To remove the coils, theres one bolt holding them to the driver's side of the engine bay. Then uplug the 2 spark wires (don't get them mixed up), look straight down below where the plugs connect to the coils, and there's 2 more bolts (nuts?) there, holding them to a bracket that is bolted to the firewall. You can scootch the coil out of the way, and if that bracket is still in your way, it will now be easier to get to it.
