Default what is entailed to remove a/c compressor?

Like the title says, plus is there any thing that must be done to the computer on OBD-1? How many hours generally would a shop take to complete this?

thanks

im not 100% sure how it would be while removing the minimal ammounts to remove it. but you remove the belt, tensioner, and the 3 bolts that hold the compressor onto the bracket. if you can remove the bolt in the back of the compressor it would be alot easier to pull it out. idk if you have to remove the fans or radiator tho

I just removed the 3 compressor bolts and the single bolt on the back and it all came out with ease

i doesnt take long at all. Lift the car up. Take the belt off. Unplug the plug. Unbolt the three bolts attaching the a/c compressor to the acc. bracket and the one bolt that is attaching the bracket to the block. Move it to be able to unbolt the bolt holding the a/c line on. remove it and then replace it or put in a a/c delete bracket.

Couple of hours maybe to do this.
