Smart move on covering the car. What is a diamond in the rough is an eyesore to some neighbors. Just covering it up may stop someone from causeing you a problem. On the A/C compressor there should be a bolt on the intake manifold for one bracket and also a bracket on the bottom of the compressor to the block. The main mounting I believe is 4 bolts on the bottom of the compressor. It's been a few years since I removed one. No need to try to remove the clutch to remove the compressor.
