Couldn't go back and edit at this point, but I'm sure anybody paying attention notices the A/C compressor switch didn't get removed (it's still there) but the connector to it was removed, what I meant to type. Lots of details flying by while doing that job. The harness connector gets removed so you can move the rest of the harness out of the way. There's no need to remove the switch itself and you'll lose refrigerant if you do, so leave it in place.And more! In the final pic actual disassembly has begun; sensors disconnected, negative battery cable removed from intake, positive feed removed from alternator, pressure cycling switch on A/C manifold removed to help get harness out of the way, radiator hose removed. REMEMBER when removing the brace from the rear of the A/C compressor, do not turn the head of the bolt with any tool! Turn only the nut to remove it. The three bolts holding the A/C compressor on the bracket are kept in place by small tabs cast into the aluminum bracket; if you turn the bolt head you can easily damage or break the bracket!
