AC removal tips

Im going to be replacing my engine subframe this weekend and I thought now would be a good time to get rid of my ac pump. I have almost everything else thats ac related off the car but I havent got to the pump yet. I remember from when I was rebuilding my engine that you couldnt get the bolts out of the compressor because they were too long and they hit the fenders...But when I go to replace the subframe im going to have the engine lifted using a hoist and I thought that maybe I could move the enging to the passenger side enough to get everything to come out...

If anybody has any tips on this it would be great. For some reason Steve's sit wasnt working when I searched around for tips on doing this so this is my last option.

Oh yea, and if anybody knows the length belt I will need for the stock main pully, stock power steering pully, and the stock tensioner that would be sweet.

Those bolts do not have to be pulled all the way out, just unthreaded from the female thread.
