After removing the above I laid a large sheet down between the engine and the bottom of the supercharger so if I dropped any bolts/nuts from the bypass/bracket they didn't fall into the abyss of the engine. I'd consider this approach significantly easier than removing the supercharger, your mileage may vary.
Just replied to a way older post before seeing this. I’ll ask the same question though—did you have space to make the actuator rod adjustments with feeler gauges? Or did you just leave the bracket and only replace the vacuum actuator? Based on the fact that my symptoms line up with a lot of these bad bypass valve posts, I’m thinking I want to try replacing it soon.
