I didn't do anything from the bottom of the car, except pick up dropped screws.
The bottom bracket bolt, and the top, I did with a 1/4 inch ratchet and NO extensions. I did not remove the fan shroud either, but it would have given me a little room with my big hands. Now that you know where the bottom bracket bolt is, just feel for it with the ratchet and tighten it up. You just have to screw the bolt in before putting the manifold back on, you cannot start it with the manifold in place. I made a mistake and tightened it down first, which meant that the bracket was too high and the manifold wouldn't fit in place.
The top bracket bolt is just put in by feel, and then tightened, before tightening the bottom bolt. Do the dipstick bolt after so it is not in the way.
