air conditioning compressor and hoses
 

I got a question, when i take the air conditioning compressor off an engine, you just unbolt everything, but what about the hoses, I have drained all the refrigerant or whatever it is, so do u just unscrew them that go into the firewall as well, hard to do ?

You might need some bolt cutters. Sometimes the ends dont want to come undone.

Unbolt everything, and please don't leave the line connected to the firewall. Take the time to take it out, cut the belt, and have it clean. ;)
