Question here:
It looks like you could conceivably remove the engine without really touching the AC compressor by just removing the two bolts and then sort of tying up the compressor to the radiator (carefully, of course). Has anyone tried this? Or should I just suck it up and get the system drained so I can remove it at will? -------------------- 2019 M2, 2005 S2000, 1997 4Runne

I just let it dangle slightly below the engine (supported of course) so its out of the way. If I were to replace the compressor (or any other A/C system part) then I would evac the system.
