The compressor drops out from the bottom. I don't think we disconnected the trans cooler lines when we pulled it, but we misrouted the high side line when we reinstalled it, so ended up disconnecting the trans cooler lines, and I decided to replace them while we were at it.
The short condenser to high side hose did not have to come out, I don't think. Mine was in rough shape so I replaced it though. You might be able to disconnect the condenser end and take it off as a unit. The bracket is a huge pain to get to. I'm not looking forward to disconnecting it for the second compressor install. I honestly don't remember the exact details, but that was probably one of the more difficult things to access on the entire system. I think I was able to get a wrench on it from under the car. I think the bracket is eliminated with my Sanden kit, and the hose is all one piece to the condenser.
