My buicks AC Compressor is bad and needs to be replaced. How do you get it out of its location in the bottom of the engine compartment?

Hi
Not the most pleasent of jobs but it will come out the bottom. Put car up on stands remove drive belt, splash shield. Electrical connectors then hose manifold then mounting bolts lower from car. Pour out oil and measure.Need to replace accumulator also.
Has system been changed over to R-134A?
If comp. shelled then will need to flush system and replace orifice tube.
Hope this helps
Thanks for donate
