It is easy to do. just cut the belt off and start removing the bolts and nuts that hold it on. for the condenser coil it is infront of the radiator, so you have to remove that first. the hard pipes you can use an adjustable wrench.

if your a/c has been working properly,you need to have it discharged by a proffesional shop.mine had nothing left in it,so i did not have to do that.but,be very carefull taking the first conection apart...the system runs at high pressure[especially if you did not get it discharged].the safest way is to find the little bleeder valve[looks like a tire valve]and push in the center pin and bleed the air out first[and,if you get liquid at this stage,have it dischaged].then,when you pull of the first connection,wiggle the pipe a lot,and start unthreading the nut slowly.this will make sure that the o ring seal gets broken,otherwise it might stick,and when you pull the connection all the way apart,and is still presurized,it might not be pretty....not really sure how tocic the stuff is in there if you find some in the lower parts of the system,but i would be carefull and try and dispose of it properly.the rest is simple,just start pullin'n stuff off.some is a bit of a pia to get to,but good luck.
