best way to remove a/c compressor Sign In

I have a 95 fleetwood and i need to replace the a/c compressor. Do i need to get it from underneath or the side? What else needs to come off?

Is this a FWD 4.5 L engine? Those you can do from under and may be helpful to pull back at least part of the plastic inner fender on the RF with wheel off you can get at more. Just one funky bolt support on the compressor and it's doable without too much bad languageCool

Sorry should have givin a little more info. It is the rear wheel drive LT1 motor. It is closer to the bottom. Could this also be a one bolt mount? Its very hard to see in there

Here is a pic...
Comes out the bottom...

Sometimes ,you may have to remove the right engine mount thru bolt and slightly raise the engine for additional clearance...

Thanks Jim and sorry nappy! I just can't follow which name means what with some years of both GM and Ford products! I don't even see too many of the FULL size Caddys anymore around here!
