First remove the belt. Second loosen the front bolts. Next remove the rear bolt. Remove the front bolt furtherest from the front of the car. Then swing the compressor away from the engine from under the car. This will allow you to disconnect the rear hose connections. Also you need to remove the electrical plug. Then have somone under the car hold up the compressor while you remove the last bolt. I was able to do mine in about 1 hour.

Is the engine in the 1997 Chevy Cavalier the same as a 2003 Chevy Cavalier and can you put a 2003 engine in a 1997 Chevy Cavalier?

Well yes and no. Both have a 2.2 four cylinder if I'm not mistaken, but I don't think the earlier Cavalier's have the EcoTec motor. And you should be able to get the engine from the '03 into the '97 with no problem.
