Pontiac Repair: 1995 PONTIAC BONNEVILLE SE - V6-3800 3.8L, pontiac bonneville, metric sockets

Question
what all do i need to remove the AC Compressor and replace it with a bypass pulley and can i get/rent tools at auto-zone or other parts store everything i need Oh a buddy i know said he would reclaim or get the freon out of it do they make caps for the AC lines because we might put AC back in later Thanks Alot oh it's grinding and there is a smell of burning in the car we hope this will be cheaper?

Answer
Hi James. No special tools to remove the compressor other than a set of metric sockets. Just make sure the system is completly drained for 134a. It's really an easy job the conpressor will come out the right side of the car through the inner fender it will not fit out the bottom of the car. Yes this is cheaper then a new compressor.
