AC requires pulling the dash and HVAC box from the interior; takes a few hours. (search on here for Dash Removal Weight, and the thread should come up)

ABS module should just unbolt.

Are you talking about removing the A/C lines and compressor or the entire system? If the entire system needs to be removed then you'll need to pull the dash board which is somewhat of a pain in the ***. A lot of sharp plastic pieces, plus you have to be careful not not to break anything. That HVAC system comes out from inside the car, not the engine bay.

The ABS is pretty straight forward. Disconnect the main harness that goes to it, remove all the lines and unbolt it from the frame. You'll see what I'm talking about once you get in there.
