if you follow the REPAIR MANUAL you can unbolt the a/c compressor and move it out of the way.....though doing that will require like 4 people so you can steer the motor around the A/C line, otherwise you will have to discharge it and disconnect everything

..just undo the four bolts to take of the ac compressor.....zip tie or tie it to something to get it out of the way, then once you get the new motor out and the new motor in just bolt it back up....done

Ummmm I'm not sure if this is an R-12 system or R-134a.

But If it's an R-12, I suggest bringing it to a shop and they'll pump out all the freon. It's illegal to work on a R-12 system, unless you're a pro. Same goes for r-134a. Though it's not illegal to work on an R-134a system by yourself, but illegal to release the freon into the air.

In anycase, pump it out by a professional.
