Compression checking with A/C on

How the hell do you do it!??!?!?!?!?? In my previous rx7 it was simple to do a compression test. I bought another rx7 with A/C and I can only get at the right top plug, possibly the bottom right as well but pretty hard. I've never heard any compression threads where people complain about the A/C being in the way, am I just retarded?

I dont even know man, straight up I dont know. Hoses and wires are coming from every direction, the A/C is in the way for the front rotor. It sucks, cause just bought an 87 t2 and I want to know the compression.

One more attempt tomorrow, and then I fail.
