Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I've read you can just get someone to hold it out of the way. But be careful not to bend the hoses. Check out Ls1howto.com. TONS of good info on a cam install.

NO you don't have to take it out or add freon. Just have a buddie pull it to the side gently! You will have plenty of room. Remember that the lines are not that strong so gentle is the key. Refer to LS1howto.com for the instruction manual. This is what I used and it is awesome. Np problems what so ever.

I used a bungie cord to hold it to the side since I don't have friends . . .

For the second cam install, I said "to hell with this" and removed the a/c system and left it off.
