DO NOT REMOVE THE AC COMPRESSOR. Do not ignore global warming and the Federal Laws you would be breaking.

First take it to a qualified shop and have the freon captured for recycling. This will eliminate a real pollution problem as well as make the system easier to work on. If your freon has already leaked out, you have more problems than just a dead compressor.

Now, loosen the serpentine belt.

Disconnect the AC hoses.

Remove the bolts holding the AC Compressor in place.

Replace the AC Compressor.

Remember to replace the receiver/drier unit every time you open the AC system.

Have a qualified shop connect the receiver drier unit, replace the refrigerant in the system and test for leaks.

Are you sure it is the A/C Compressor and not the power steering pump? LS400, SC 300 and SC 400 are known to have power steering pump issues that leak onto the compressor causing ac compressor failure. Replace the pump as soon as you see a leak.

You will have to figure out why: This the 90% of the time failur: Is there Freon in the system, if there is not a minimum pressure, usually 17 PSI, the compressor will not run. Is the compressor and clutch capable of working? Is the fuse in good shape.
