Hank,

"there are three bolts holding the pump to the motor" - Should be four.

And you should be able to get a socket on the 2 upper bolts without any drama. The bottom 2 can be another matter with an old sagging front engine mount. Loosen the bolts at the bottom of the yoke that bolts to the front crossmember. Jack up the front of the engine using a block of wood between the jack and oilpan. Remember there are other things still attached like exhaust pipe, fuel line, carb linkage so be careful. Anyway, you only have to raise the engine high enough to access the bolts and thats not far. Goodluck.
