How To Remove A/C

My clutch finally locked up in my A/C and i'm in need of removing it. I notice that the a/c has about 4 bolts, one is right infront of the valve cover.. i dont know how to remove it, I have a a/c bypass pulley and want to exchange it. I need help asap if thats alright. I just need help to know how to remove my currenty a/c. The a/c system is purged fully and the tube bolt is unbolted, just need to know how to losen belt and remove a/c.

thanks in advance,
Timinsk

Re: How To Remove A/C

Just need to torque on the idler pulley to get the belt off and unbolt the a/c and pull it out.. Don't really know how much your planning to take of but let me know and I will tell you... I almost forgot you got to put the a/c delete back where you got the a/c out of and put the belt back on...

IIRC it's held on with 2 brackets and 3 bolts. Just start removing them and it'll pop right out.
