Thank you all for the excellent information. I think i have a pretty clear
idea on what im dealing with now. Quick question though, what if there is a
pack in the drive? What holds the pack in there? Can the pack be removed
without power?

Note that the bracket should already be there; just
loosen the screw,
rotate the plate 90 degrees to block the positioner-mount, and then tighten
the screw again. I *think* that the bottom drive-retention screws are
interchangeable with screws on the back-panel, and a typical approach is to
remove a pairs of screws from the back panel for temporary reuse to
stabilize the motor, then return to their former locations after
re-racking.

The RL01/RL02 Users Guide
(bitsavers.org/pdf/dec/disc/rl01_rl02) Figure
2-25 on page 2.35 describes the positioner restraining bracket that
should be put in place before shipping. It is just a little square
piece of metal (probably aluminum) with a single screw that holds it
down that sits in front of the carriage to keep it from rolling into the
pack area.
Of course, you don't want a pack in there while you are moving it
around. :)
It also mentions on that page a couple of shipping screws on the bottom
of the drive to restrain the spindle/blower motor from turning.
