Best Answer

Unplug the electrical plug to the compressor.

Remove the Serpentine belt from the AC pulley.

If there is no freon, go ahead and remove the 10mm bolt that secures the manifold to the compressor (it connects the hoses to the compressor).

There are three 10mm Bolts that mount the compressor to the block. Remove these.

Now the fun part, removing the compressor from underneath the vehicle... Try removing the oil filter. This should give you room to slide it out and down through the bottom..
