Lower Thermostat Housing Removal 900 1994

I had a stripped torx bolt while replacing the thermostat on my 960. I tried chiseling on the outside of the bolt to no avail. Drilling the head off the bolt freed it up and I thought I was good to go. But the hammer ruined the seal between the lower thermostat housing and the block.

Has anyone replaced this before who can tell me what I'm going to need to remove? I've got the two top-side torx bolts off but that lower one is tucked way in there. It looks like I definitely need to remove the serp belt and power steering pump. But from my vantage point I'm not even sure that will do it. Anyone with this experience have an answer?

If I have to take of the intake manifold I'm going to have to start limbering up to kick myself in the ass.

Thanks
