To remove an a?c compressor, first the system has to be evacuated by mean of a refrigerant pump, do not under any circumstances undo or cut A/C hose. this is extremly dangerous. When system is empty, remove belt, and compressor will unbolt from it's cradle or mounts. If the system is to be re used plug hoses with screw type plugs with seals, as moisture in the are is detrimental to the system.
