Okay, we've figured out that the clutch is shot on the A/C compressor. But if you've ever looked under the hood, you KNOW there's NO ROOM to move. How the hell do you get this thing out? Do I have to pull the fan? Radiator, too? What else? Better to go from top, or bottom? How long will this take?

Any advice much appreciated.

for starters if you have to remove it you will have to have the system drained of freon .if you cant get if out from the wheel well area you have to drop down the sub frame but i am sure it comes out through the wheel well area
