Actually, 9 small bolts plus a wing nut have to be taken off for removal! 
I said "holding a shaker center section together," not "for removal." Go ahead and count how many nuts, bolts, washers and shims are in a shaker center section, altogether. Don't forget about the adapter plate, the louvers, the brackets that secure the shaker to the engine, the cable, etc. For kicks, add in the metal hood ring nuts as well. Do you see how that adds up to a pile of hardware?
