Default sc install issue?

Ok putting in the diy s trim with a diy ic. So im reading the directions, and im seeing the sc bracket, im supposed to open some hole up to 27/64 so that the wiring harness can reattach ect...but im not seeing what the hell they are talking about. I have a 2000 gt which is the only year they say this needs to be done, but im not seeing it. Plus it says something about sandwiching the ac silencer between timing cover and bracket. but where they seem to want it is in a totally different spot than where it is? can someone explain this to me? or provide pictures of that area up close maybe? Also for the bottom bolt of the sc bracket to go in, it appears ill have to move the abs module to get the bolt to go in, anyone else have to do that? if anyone can give me insight that would be great. thanks

Not sure on the whole you need to open up, but for the bolt, you don't need to move the ABS. Best thing to do is put the bolt in a little bit already then move the bracket into place. Its a PITA to get in but it works. The AC Silencer basically just unhooks from the stock location, you remove the bolt, and then put the SC bracket on top and install the SC bracket bolt. Its pretty straight forward.

apparently my car doesn't have the bracket the instructions talk about.....problem is i have a 2000, so come to find out some stuff is 96-99 some is 01-04 then there is 2000 specific, except that only works if you have a true 2000. cuz if you get early 2000 its basically a 99 still and a late 2000 is basically an 01....lol see my issue. had to get the one fed up year.
