Default taking a/c lines out

I got the a/c condensor and lines out of the front portion of the engine bay. Now onto the rear, by the firewall. Do they also come out w the special tool, or what? It looks tight.

Thanks

Here is what Im talking about. What size wrench is it to take off the top portion, anyone? I think I need to go buy the wrench, I dont have many tools.

See yellow arrow.

The other one (blue arrow) comes off w the special tool I think.

Oh yours must be old stuff then. My 92 just was clipped on, even still was a bastard to get off when I deleted the A/C with the engine swap. Just use a crescent wrench if you have one if you don't have a big enough wrench. Are you trying to save it, or are you deleting the A/C? If you're deleting it, just reef on it, who cares if it breaks or bends.

Im onto the bottom part, and it looks like it should come off w the blue disconector tool, the tool goes on and under the line part but just doesnt disconnect.

Did you try pushig the line and tool at the same time? Push them both in then pull both out.
