Alright! I got the compressor off today. I don't have all the new A/C parts yet so I can't install everything just yet. And yes, that compressor is a royal pain to get off. The two bolts on the top side are easy, as are the two on the bottom of the compressor. But on the side of the compressor, at the bottom, are two bolts that are horrendous to remove. I used a straight wrench and attacked them from the top and had to rock the compressor around alot to get them. Royal pain and I spent probably 2 hours out there. Hope this works... will keep updating.
