Well I got all the hoses, condenser etc out of the engine compartment.

Now I'm trying to figure out the easiet exit strategy for the compressor. Has anybody removed it without pulling the driver side axle and dropping it out the bottom?

Looks like it might fit out the passenger side between the intake and the rear mount...but it's tight.

I just trying to save myself some frustration...thanks!

I always pulled mine when the motor was out of the car....

I pulled mine up threw where the intake mani and inbetween the brake resivour. I didnt have cruise or any of that stuff. I had a afpr on it but i got mine to squeeze out right in there.

I pull the drivers side axle, remove the drivers side motor mount, and then jack up the motor. You will have more than enough room to get it out though the bottom or the top.

I was eyeing bring it up between the intake manifold and the brake resovoir myself. While do I feel like this is going to make me bleed....

It's important to give the car a little of your blood at a time. This prevents the machine from taking all of your blood at once.
