remove the gas via a professional.

loosen the bracket that its mounted to, that will loosen the belt, then undo the bolts that hold it, i cant remember how many there is, then unplug all the hoses goin into it, and take it off, the belt is behind other belts so you will have to undo them aswell to get the A/C belt of, or just cut it saves alot of time.

LOL sorry yeah gas in it...
My was dry when i done it so i had no gas to worry about...

as above to get the compressor off.the radiator looking bit for the a/c is easy to take off,sits on rubber mounts at bottom and is held by the bracket at the top.theres a little oil canister? (i dont even know what it is) part of the sytem tucked behind the front bar on the LH side if your wondering where some of the lines disappear to

Someone posted in a thread I created a while back an EP3 idler pulley, but on Yonas' site it said it was for removal of power steering. Anyone confirm that was a typo on his site? I'm gonna retain PS on my car.

just be carful of the gas, its dangerous, especially if you get it in your eyes LOL (wassnme). If you let it out make sure you stay away from until it finishes.

Otherwise it pretty simple, you can work it out

in the crx, degas the system at any a/c specialist.
then you have to undo your p/s belt.
by taking off the passenger side lower engine mount.
undo the a/c line brackets/braces
using a 10mm socket, follow the lines and start undoing the bolts that are on the end of the lines
2 on the compressor
2 on the reciever dryer
2 on the firewall behind the battery, so you'd have to disconnect your battery.
2 on the condensor

take out the condensor, it's held on by 2 brackets on the radiator support on the passenger side.
then, take off the compressor, which is held on 4 (i think 12mm) bolts.
then do put the mount and p/s belt back on.

that should be it.
