The problem is the 6 bolts on the back of the supercharger are a very tight clearance.
Yes you can get them out with dropping the cradle a little.

But if you want them torqued properly you will have to drill holes in the cowling or just drop the cradle so you can get a toque wrench in properly and not at an angle.

There are threads on this. They just step drilled the holes and put in plugs. Nothing you could see as the plastic windshield cowling goes over this area.

I think Chevy recommends dropping the cradle out completely.

I was just trying to avoid having to drop the cradle, until its time for my next mod. Heads or a better supercharger.
