General Maintenance & Repairs - Need tips/tricks!!

I just bought a 2002 TransAm WS6 not too long ago that needs a major tune-up. Im fairly new to working on cars because I was raised riding dirtbikes so please dont bash on my lack of experience. My current problem is that I need to change the spark plugs but the A/C pump is blocking my access to the passenger side of the motor. Is there any tips and tricks for how to get around that?

Jack the car up and get them from underneath.

This...

No need to get under just unbolt the ignition coil brackets and the Air pipe into the manifold

Either way is fine though, its whatever you think is easier.

Since you are new to this, DO NOT EVER get under a car without Jack Stands and/or Supporting Blocks under your tires! Either way, make sure there is enough room for you under the car in case something causes a tire to go flat while you are working under the car if you have the tires supporting the weight of the car!!!

I know of two fatalities from people relying on a jack alone!

you can do it from the top just take off the coils it would be much easier and lay across the engine

the last plug on the passenger side is done from below .

The last one u can do it from the top I have always done it like that no need to lift the car

#8 can be done from the top with the coils removed, but it's sooooo easy from underneath.
