Default power steering pump questions

Hello, I've had a power steering leak for about a year and a half, it wasn't all that bad, had to refill it every 2 weeks or so, but lately its gotten worse. I've tried stop leak but it didn't do much. I went to pull a part and picked up a power steering pump (im pretty sure its the pump that's leaking). Getting the pump off the donor disco was easy the mortar was already removed all I had to do was remove a bolt. So today I go out to my rover ready to fix this leak once for all, I'm not sure what bolts I'm supposed to loosen and what bolts to leave alone..

Remove the fan shroud, the fan, the alternator and set to the side, the a/c compressor and set to the side, the idler pulley and then the entire bracket that holds the pump to the block.

Thanks Disco Mike, I wound up having to take it to my mechanic, (rounded one of the bolts to my power steering pump) would have rather done it myself, but sometimes you got to had it over to the experts with the tools and knowledge.
