The Best Way to Proceed

[GMAN]

I am about to change a hose that connects to my AC compressor. It is very difficult to get to from underneath the car. What is the best way to get access to the AC compressor?


Thanks.undefined

I assume you've removed the battery, battery tray, and alternator belt. Remove the radiator coolant overflow bottle and the alternator and work on the AC compressor from the TOP side.

When I had my front motor mount out I found that it was the perfect time to work on the AC compressor. The front motor mount gets in the way. Having the radiator out of the way would only give more wiggle room too. In any event, I wasted a lot of time working on the compressor from the fenderwell side. Once unbolted it's easy to move that sucker around from above.
