Question 91 EF Hatch - A/C compressor replacement question???

Just wondering if anyone has ever removed/replaced the compressor on a 91 civic hatch. The on mine is dead and just trying to figure out how to get the dang thing out. Didnt know if maybe someone could provide a "how to" or knew of a site with this info. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The 91's Honda made the a/c compressor part of the block. If it goes bad, you have to replace the motor. Kinda sucks, 91 was the only year Honda did that...sucks that you got that year.








































Take off the belt, unbolt the a/c lines, unbolt the compressor. Reverse to install. Vacuum system and charge as needed.

I know how to unbolt it you ass. Im just trying to ask if anyone on here knew of an easy way to get it out after its unbolted. Theres not exactly a lot of room to get it out.

Pretty sure the EF's have a front crossmember that the front motor mount bolts to. Drop that and the compressor should come right out.

Well, thanks for letting everyone on the interwebs know that you've obviously not gotten under the car, or looked around very much, or you'd probably see something like this:
