I also loosened the harmonic balancer bolt by bump starting the truck while using a breaker bar. This was a bit sketchy but it turned out to be very easy.
This is where I ended up tonight. I got stuck on trying to remove the clips that are noted with the 2 red arrows in the bottom of the picture.

A close up of one of the clips on the power steering pump. I am tempted to break that off.

My intake looks pretty greasy and oily. Is that normal for a truck with almost 300k miles?

My intake looked like that with 189k miles on it too. I didn't take the time to degrease it, but I should have. There's videos on Youtube for how to clean it and which degreasers work best.
