Wow. Now I've really done it

So I just finished installing a new parallel flow condenser and dryer to complete my R134a conversion. I bolted the hood latch back into place, then, closed the hood, completely. Realized this evening, when I went to go and try to pop the hood, that I didn't re-connect the wire that pops the fucking hood. So it's just stuck there. I went in from underneath to try and completely unbolt the latch assembly, but it is bolted from the inside to the center support brace, and there's no way I can get that thing off. I feel so retarded. Is there anyway I can get my hood back open without destroying it or the body of my car? Thanks for any help and suggestions. :3d_frown:

You can get up in there and push on the lever that the cable attaches to. No it's not easy (especially not with a huge intercooler)
