Pulling engine, those in the know, how did you handle the AC compressor??? Pulling engine, those in the know, how did you handle the AC compressor???
I have gotten the intake, heads, exhaust, water pump, radiator, rack & pinion unit, sway-bar, all off... I am removing the hood tomorrow and will be ready to start pulling the engine (out the top). I am not 100% on how I should handle the AC compressor...
Advice, Opinions welcome...

If we're talkin fbody, 4 bolts, not as hard as a vette.
As stated above, leave the ac hooked up, use a big wire tie to hold it up once you get the motor out.

Yupper, Vette.
Thanks to all for the advice... I was going to use "used" factory head bolts to anchor the chains to the short-block...sound like it will work???
Starting tomorrow...
