OK to remove steering linkage to remove starter?
Okay, here's some pictures of what I'm dealing with. They're kinda crappy because smartphone cameras don't play nice with confined spaces, but here they are:
You can see how the transmission cooler lines nicely are in the way (and I can't get a wrench on one of the fittings, so that's out of the question), and how the headers trap the starter. The last picture (poorly) shows how the pitman arm might create a gap for the starter if removed.
