Default Driver side valve cover gasket

It looks like my drivers side valve cover gasket leaks and I wanna replace it. The only thing I'm not sure of is how to get the cover up and out of that tight spot it sits in? On the front you have the steering pump/alternator bracket and on the back there's the brake booster. Its those 2 thing that I can see getting in the way of removing the valve cover. Is it necessary to remove that front bracket, in which I'll need a p/s pump pulley puller so I can get to the bolts that sit behind the pump? Any one ever done this job on a cpi motor?

Its a pain but can be done with patience..You may find it easier to pull the wiring harness out of the way on that side...It will wiggle outta there without pulling brackets.
