Sorry no one got back to you. Those hoses bolt to the AC box in the firewall, I believe one line goes to the AC compressor and one goes to the AC condenser. You just have to track them down and undo them with a wrench.

Why are you in a rush btw? You'll just be without AC until you replace the hoses and charge the system, no biggie.

take the belt off and remove the mounting bolts for the compressor to get a better angle at it

I think on my buddy's car, we pulled the motor mount pins and jacked up the bottom of the motor, this allowed more room to access the back of the comprssor from the bottom. As for my car...AC has beem long gone.
