We didn't have a lot of time to work on this over the weekend. The exhaust was stubborn but is off now. With the AC compressor hanging out of the way a wrench can now get to the bolt on the alternator that was inaccessible before. Still too tight for a socket though. So we should be able to get it out through the bottom without too much trouble. Won't get back to that until next week since it's my brothers week to work.
Another question came to mind. The AC was converted to R-134 before I got it. What do we need to do to drain the AC system?
