You will have to remove the entire AC system (all the lines). The pully bolts right were the stock compressor did.

you say all the lines, are you talking about everything that even runs up along the engine to or just the closest lines to the compressor?

Just the ones at the compressor, then cap them off somehow to keep the dirt out and tie them out of the way to be sure they are not near or touching the exhaust manifolds or anything else that can damage them, good luck.
