Sorry, when I did mine I want concerned about sh*t and just started ripping sh*t apart. Plus it was a long time ago. All I remember is that I was going to town on a b*tch and I disconnected something from the AC and it went boom and I almost lost my hand

just dissconnect the lines and wires and then take the compressor off. i dissconnected the lines from the compressor 1st b/c they were easier to get to. its prolly got alot of pressure. then i dissconnected it from the firewall. my buddies car just has them sawed off but it was that way when he got it and doesnt hurt anything.

On my buddies car i was taking the line off and even with safety glasses i got refrigerant in my eyes. But i already cut the hoses going to the compressor. I just need to know what specific parts to take out. Maybe somebody knows of a link with detailed info?

What he said. Except I pulled the condensor as well. Once you get the refridgerant out, you should not have any pressure. The right way is to evacuate it, but you could just loosen the lines the let it bleed (shh!) Once thats done then its just unbolt and unplug. The dryer is that thing in your pic, it comes unclamped then just unplug it. Nothing big or scary about it

there should be a vavle thing by the intake. i didnt have to cuz mine was empty,but u can wrap some rags around it and poke a screwdriver in it.

i just remember fox guys dont have that hole up front like the sn's. buthave u taken any hits to the rad, since u taken out the condenser?
