Default Hydraulic pump idler pulley cant remove pls save me

Working on replacing my water pump and my biggest struggle yet is getting this damn hydraulic fan pump idler thing off. I know its supposed to be connect to the ac compressor at the top somewhere but i can't find the bolt. The whole accessory drive area is very slimy please help me! The red cirlce is all the bolt/nuts ive already removed. The green is where people say there is a bolt that goes through the ac compressor but there is nothing there. Any pics or vids would be amazing. It's a 93 sc4 btw.

I've actually taken it off a few times atp. Take the tire off and jack it up obv. Couple extensions and a swivel will do the trick everytime. Use the diagram the other guy showed its super helpful for easily understanding where those bolts are. Best of luck!

Finally pulled it out.... no need to remove the compressor... when I go to reinstall it I'll post pics for future reference.
