Wow! What a predicament to get in to.
You know you could have removed the throttle body without messing with the bracket bolt on the lower intake manifold and removing the complete bracket. After removing the left side throttle body bolt the bracket can be bent to the left just enough using a flat blade screwdriver to remove the throttle body.
In a worse case scenario you may have to remove the downpipe connection and then the rear bank exhaust manifold.
