Re: simple A/C compressor question

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxx>]

You don't need to disconnect the hoses from the compressor. Just 
unbolt the compressor from the mounts and move it out of the way 
toward the side of the car. Don't make a big job bigger by fussing 
with the A/C. Not only MUST you remove and capture the R-12, you will 
have to vacuum the system down to reinstall it. There is always the 
risk of leaks and contamination. If you have to wrap it in a rag and 
wire it out of the way but you should be able to do this without 
disconnecting it.
