I am removing my blown motor on my 88 TII, and i have everything removed except the a/c compressor. Once i get that off all i need to do is remove the tranny bolts and motor mounts and i will be ready to pull it out.

My question is, how the hell do you remove the a/c pump? I got two bolts out of the top of it but i cant see anymore bolts. I figure they are under it but not only can i not see them, how would i get to them? Any hints or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks rodney ill check it out now.

 

There are 4 bolts that hold the AC compressor in place.
Unbolt them from the mounting bracket but leave the bolts in the compressor.
The lower rear bolt also has a bracket that holds the refrigerant hose in place. If you take this bolt out during reinstallation, it is difficult to line all this back up due to the limited space. It's easier to just leave the bolts in the compressor.

 

I finally got it out, thanks for the help guys!

 

Also remember there are two tranny bolts in the upper right hand corner of the Bell housing. I started lifting and nothing happened then I saw that last bolt hiding under there.

 

yeah i found the one that is kinda behind the oil filter, that one is stuck pretty good and i still haven't gotten it off because its kinda stripped, the other one i'm having trouble with is on the lower driver side kind of in the middle and it's loose, but its not coming out, it seems like maybe its a bolt with a nut? I dont know i'll figure it out tomorrow when i can see what im doing.

Aside from those two bolts the motor is ready to be pulled.

 

no no, the other right. or the passenger side of the car. for some reason there are two bolts about two inches apart on the tranny. You think you got em all because who would put two bolts right next to each other.

 

If they are the ones kind of on the top on the passenger side, then i got 'em.
