To change the AC compressor on a 1996 Lincoln Mark VIII, first disconnect the battery and then discharge the AC system at a certified facility to safely remove refrigerant. Next, remove the serpentine belt, then unbolt and disconnect the electrical connectors and refrigerant lines from the compressor. Install the new compressor by reversing the steps, ensuring all connections are secure, and then recharge the AC system with refrigerant. Finally, reconnect the battery and test the system for proper operation.
