I've got a 92 cabriolet. The a/c compressor is held in place by 4 bolts. Two bolts under the a/c are the pivot bolts. The other two are toward the front side of the unit, under the Power Steering reservoir. In fact if you pull the PS res. off its mount, you can get to the a/c adjustment bolts much easier. Generally they are 13mm or 14mm nuts and bolts. The bolts are in a track that is used to tighten the belt. Lift up on the compressor to tighten the belt. Push down on the compressor to loosen the belts. The adjustment bolts are between the compressor and the front sheet metal of the car, under the p/s res.

How do you bypass the air conditioning unit on a 1988 Tbird?

On the compressor there should be a plug that is pluged into the compressor. Try to unplug it and then try the ac... Now if that dont work just take the belt off the ac BUT make sure there is stll a belt that runs the altenater and water pump. that will bypass it but try to unplug it first so you will still have all your belts.
