A/C Removal

First off, can the bolt holding the bottom line to the condensor be removed from below the car without removing the radiator?

Also, can the compressor be removed from the car with all the accessories on the engine still? Seems cramped in there...

I pulled mine off with the radiator in the car, of course you have to take the upper shroud/airbox off and move the radiator around but the condenser came right out. I had the sway bar off which gave a little more room but there should be no problem removing the compressor/bracket.

Did you get the bottom condensor line bolt from below before pulling the condensor? Doesnt seem like there is any room to get a socket on it, but I havent jacked the car up yet either...?
