Power Steering Pump Removal & Installation 2.2L Engine To Remove:

1. Remove the upper cooling fan shroud.
2. Position a fluid catch pan under the power steering pump.
3. Disconnect the feed and return hoses from the power steering pump, then drain the excess fluid into the catch pan. NOTE: On models equipped with a remote fluid reservoir, disconnect and plug the hose(s) in order to prevent system contamination or excessive fluid loss.

You may have to remove the pump...
BUT , maybe not...
The pump pully has holes in it... with the power steering belt loose or off ... turn the pully to see if the holes will allign with the bolt you are trying to remove... if not... then the power steering pump must be removed to gain access to the last bolt..

Power Steering Pump Removal & Installation 3.8L Engine To Remove:

1. Before servicing the vehicle, refer to the precautions at the beginning of this section.

3. Remove the accessory drive belt from the power steering pump pulley.
4. Raise and safely support the vehicle.
5. Remove the right front tire and wheel assembly.
6. Remove the hoses from the power steering pump.
7. Remove the mounting bolts and the power steering pump from the engine.
8. Remove the reservoir and pulley from the pump if necessary.

To Install:
Power steering pump removal/installation (3.8L engine)

1. If removed, install the power steering pump reservoir and pulley on the power steering pump.
2. Position the power steering pump to the engine and install the mounting bolts. Tighten the bolts to 25 lb ft (34 Nm).
3. Install the pressure and return hoses to the pump.
4. Install the right front tire and wheel assembly.
5. Lower the vehicle.
6. Install the accessory drive belt.
7. Fill and bleed the power steering system.
8. Inspect the system for leaks.
9. Remove the drain pan from under the power steering pump area.

3.4L Engine To Remove:

1. Place a drain pan under the power steering pump.
2. Remove the coolant reservoir.
3. Remove the pulley from the power steering pump.
4. Remove the wiring harness near the power steering pump and place it out of the way.
5. Disconnect the fluid hoses from the power steering pump.
6. Remove the mounting bolts from the power steering pump and remove the pump.

To Install:
Power steering pump removal/installation (3.4L engine)

1. Position the power steering pump assembly to the engine and install the mounting bolts. Tighten the mounting bolts to 25 lb ft (34 Nm).
2. Install the wiring harness in its original position.
3. Install the pulley on the power steering pump.
4. Install the coolant reservoir.
5. Fill and bleed the power steering system.
6. Inspect the system for leaks.
7. Remove the drain pan from under the power steering pump.

I think on that model you have to remove the power steering pump pulley first before you can get to the rest of the power steering pump mounting bolts.
You can rent a special puller / installer from one from your local auto parts store.
Once you have pulled the pulley and removed the pump mounting bolts,just drop the whole pump unit with the hoses attached out of the way of the water pump.
Good Luck.
