Getting ready to pull my 2.5L ranger engine for some repairs. Can the AC compressor and hoses be unbolted and carefully moved out of the way while the engine is being pulled and reinstalled without having to open the AC system? Has anyone done it this way and did it make the job a lot more difficult? The factory manual says "recover the refrigerant and disconnect AC lines before removing engine". I wanted to ask before screwing with a perfectly good operating AC system.
