Are you taking the timing cover off? If not your going to have to bet the serpentine belt back on in order to get the water pump bolts and crank bolt off.
Scissor jack your car until you can get your big jack under to fully lift it up. I did it that way and then sat the cars front tires onto blocks of wood, that way its safer then just sitting on jack stands. Get a size 10mm ratcheting wrench. Then unloosen the easy bolts for the power steering until you get enough room to slide the 10mm ratcheting wrench onto the pain in the butt bolt on the power steering. That's the easiest way to do it. The ac compressor is simple, its just 3 10mm bolts, shouldn't take you long to take off. One bolt might be captive because it hits the sway bar so just fully unloosen it with the 10mm ratcheting wrench.
