I think you'd need to remove the radiator to get enough room? I've done this job multiple times, on both '87 and '95 124 diesels. I've always removed the compressor. Counter-holding the clutch plate while removing the screw is a trick, I have a nice strap wrench that is a vice grips with a bicycle chain for the strap, that works great. You will need good snap-ring pliers. I've used a 3-arm puller to pull those off. I would not recommend prying between the compressor body and the pulley wheel, like the video. Looks like a good way to start a leak in the body seals.
