im not too sure what your asking, but if you have the pump off then you should be able to get the engine out, you might hit the condenser though(thing that looks like a 2nd radiator).

i heard its a lot easier to swap if you remove the ac condenser and the radiator, more room to work with and you won'y damage anything.

You have to drain the system, you should probably get a shop to do this, a/c fluid isn't fun to have in your eyes, or lungs. But if you want to do it yourself, (and risk respiratory problems and a fine from the EPA):

Take the cap off the bleed valve, should be just above the condensor, its a little blue cap, once the cap is off put a rag around it and push the valve down with a screwdriver. It's like letting air out of one's tire.

Next unbolt all the lines, these are the stiff lines covered in foam that run across and up the engine bay. That should take care of everything.

not sure if you need to plug any holes, though.

Don't do it man! Keep the A/C! It is my biggest regret removing that.
