there is a bolt on the back of the compresser that dissconnects the lines... take it off a wiggle it out...
major PITA, but just keep with it... kinda like changing the plugs

there is a bolt under it. It is used to hold a clamp that holds the tranny cooler lines and such just unbolt that and everything should come out if all other are out. I think its only like 10mm

dang, 30 mins is pretty good. Ya i think i know the bracket you guys are talking about. Just seems like the lines that are caught are running behind the compressor and are getting trapped by the u-shaped looking a/c tube on the back. Ill try getting it today

I got my plug changes down to 30 min..

I put a new Engine in mine, put it on the K-member and lowered the car on it. Got Plugs and LT's on that in about 10 min..
The easiest way I found to do the plugs is the Plug Socket, and a 3/4" wrench.
The way I did the AC Removal was to pretty much disconnect what I could, and cut the lines in some places to get them out easier. They are aluminum, and they bend real easy. That's up to you, depends of you want to sell some of the parts afterwards. Removing the AIR crossover tube was a pain in the a$$, it is stainless, and doesn't bend at all.

i got it out after taking out that rear bracket bolt, thanks so much you guys. Im leaving that crap off thats for sure.
and yes, them plug wires were in the way but i seen that before i started yanking on the compressor
