harsh.

I don't need ****.

Everything I need is in 3D, on the couch, taking a nap.

Go back to your Betamax and PBR. Rea said there's also some Boone's Farm in the shed near the bench were you sit to huff paint

I replaced a clutch on my daughter's 3.8 Mercury Sable by unbolting the compressor and moving it around. There is not much room under that hood either.

I was thinking that route too. This one is mounted right behind the radiator.

I can see it pretty good when looking through the wheel well at it but, still looks a little tight for tools.

I replaced the compressor today.

That area is really tight, especially when the lines wont allow you to really do anything without removing them..

I need to replace my compressor also. Looks like there will be lots of room if I remove the front head pipe back to the flange. How did you access yours?

I just used the triangle opening right under the compressor. Didn't need to remove the exhaust at all.

I was able to get to the line on the back of the compressor from the top with a long extension and a u-joint.
