What is done with (electrical components, ) after removal of seized up A/C compressor? What is done with, (existing hosing before installing the A/C bypass are there any additional steps needed because I'm using a bypass and not replacing the A/C compressor. Also, can most of the project be done from underneath the car?

Yes, from what I can see you can just leave the compressor and unplug it, wrap the electrical connector in electrical tape and secure it somewhere where it won't get tangled in the belt. Here is the belt routing so you can see what you are in for when doing the job. Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.
