Removing AC Compressor

Wilhelm · April 30th, 2011, 06:36 PM

Hello all,
I'm currently in the process of removing the engine from my mustang.

It has the 302, and I'm curious about removing the AC compressor.

Should I disconnect the lines running to it? Or should I just remove the bracket and pull it out of the way?

Thanks.

remove it out of the way....Do not disconect it

I just did this: unbolt it from its bracket, then wrap a towel around it and tape it up so the towel doesn't fall off, then put some sort of a pad or blanket onto your passenger side fender, and then just flip the compressor over to the pad you just set down ( this keeps the compressor from damaging your fender and paint) and your done....Doing this keeps you from having to pull a vacuum and having to recharge your A/C system
