Finally Got the darn A/C compressor off!

["lumina333" <lumina3@xxxx>]

I had to use the torque wrench and take the entire plate that it was 
bolted to off the manifold, but it finally came off! If I am going to 
save these pieces for whatever reason, I suppose I should not only 
keep this plate but also the metal brace that runs from the 3rd 
manifold bolt to the top of the compressor also? What about the front 
metal piece that bolts to the front of the block and joins to the 
front of the compressor? Other things I removed today were interior 
pieces - visors, door sill plates, and the black plastic door sill 
liners that cover the door seam under the aluminum plates. The visors 
cleaned up nicely. I photographed the interior so that I can have a 
reminder of where things go back later. I am considering taking out 
the large A/C vent system that is bolted under the dash. It doesn't 
look too hard to remove. I am now looking at the doors and trying to 
figure out how to get them off so that I can start sanding the rust 
and see what kind of bad (or good) shape they are in. -Lu-
