Kevin,

You shuld be able to disconnect the compressor at one of the brackets and support it while the engine is dropped.

If you have the VPC system, it has a swing bracket that pivots on a long bolt. Loosen whatever belt adjustments you have, then use two wrenches to loosen the nut on this bolt. The bolt should slide toward the back of the engine. This will free up the compressor. Just be sure to tie it off with some wire or heavy-duty plastic ties temporarily.

If you have the mounting system for the DPD version, you'll have to remove the compressor bia the secondary mounting plate. It has bolts that are accessable from the bottom and outside the compressor. There is also an adjustment bolt at the top near the fan housing, but I can't tell if this needs to come out or not.

Good luck,
