Default Supercharger removal

So..I am stuck as to where this thing is bolted down. I removed the six bolts highlighted in the photo, but it won't budge!!! The hoses in the back are disconnected and I cant seem to see any other bolts. Any ideas???

SUCCESS!!!!!

Those are the only six bolts holding it on. After I got the service manual and made sure all the hoses and electrical connections were detached it became clear I had to show that supercharger who daddy is. I wanna send a huge DAB to Bigg Will for leading the way and providing a template to follow. His write up is fantastic !!! I would still be stuck trying to figure out the intake cooler connectors if it wasn't for him ...lol..will post pics after I get everything back together.

Glad to see you're making progress. Was it just a case of pulling up harder on the supercharger?

There are two posts that the supercharger sits on engine block with...they fit inside two holes in the block. They are pretty much wedged in and it's a struggle to get them out. When you pull, its no way they move and you think that there has to be something bolted on still. What I did was pulled from the left..them moved to the right..etc. etc.. and sort of wiggled it out a few millimeters at a time until it finally gave up resisting. Took me about 45 minutes in all...had to take breaks in between.
