A/C Compressor rear bolt removal in 87 5.0 EFI

Hello, I'm removing the a/c compressor from my 87 f150 5.0 EFI and need advice on removing the passenger side lower rear bolt. I am also replacing the valve cover gaskets and have the valve cover off for better clearance, but I stiil can't seem to get a socket or wrench in there to that last bolt. Any advice on which type of tool to use would be appreciated. I have tried an offset box wrench but that wouldn't fit. I was thinking maybe an offset open-end wrench but haven't found one yet.

Ok, I figured it out. I removed the front bolts from the compressor and then removed three bolts holding the bracket to the motor. The compressor was then able to be lifted out with the bracket attached.
