Why are you replacing the old one? No cooling? Poor cooling? Weird noises? Not engaging?

As a big fan of DIY, I hate to say it, but if you have to ask how to replace an A/C compressor you probably shouldn't attempt it without someone more experienced present. There's too many different variables at play with the refrigerant charging/discharging, pulling a vacuum, and oil levels. If the old one grenaded itself you will have to replace the expansion valve, evaporator, receiver drier, condenser, and flush the lines. Add too much oil or refrigerant or not pull a deep vacuum and you'll have a system that works like crap. Too little oil and the compressor will lock up in short order. Too little refrigerant and it could cool poorly AND lock up. Opening the high side valve on your manifold while the system is on can blow your charge can/cylinder up. The list of dangers goes on.

If it didn't grenade itself, the system is empty, and you're just looking to save in labor and have a shop evacuate/charge it, check this out: http://civic.hondafitjazz.com/090101.html

Don't take it apart unless it's completely empty or a shop recovered the refrigerant or it'll vent refrigerant in your face on the first hose/fitting you remove.
