Bad A/C compressor, need to replace part. I'm not too sure on the procedure but I do know I need to drain and move some stuff in the engine bay out the way. I could use some advice, like do’s and don'ts.

Hi,

There were two different designs used on this vehicle. I attached the directions from the shop manual for both. However, here is a link that I feel can be more helpful. It helps explain the different things to check.

Also, here is a video that is helpful:

Let me know if this helps. Note: Regardless of the design used on your vehicle, the right front wheel will need to be removed along with the inner fender.

Take care,

joe
