Help. removing TB and UIM as one piece. Won't budge.

I am removing the intake manifold and throttle body as one piece on my S4 TII. I have disconnected all of the electrics and will disconnect the vacuum lines as i pull the UIM up. They need to be replaced anyway. the coolant hose going into the BAC has been disconnected and i have disconnected the throttle and cruise control cables. I just unscrewed the 4 nuts on the UIM. and took out the long bolt on the top. I have not removed anything like that on the TB though. So my question is, what do i else is holding the unit down to the block? I think I have the UIM free but the TB is still bolted down somewhere. Anybody know?

That's the only way you can do it.

There's your clue right there. Go look closer at the TB and you'll see where it's bolted to the intercooler bracket.

there is one stud holding it to a bracket near the oil filler tube.

don't forget the 90 degree hose under the manifold also.
