removing ac compressor

[marc_scirocco at sympatico.ca (Marc_Scirocco_Québec)]

IIRC, there are two starter bolts to remove as well to get one of the
bracket off. Once the bracket is off, then the bolts are too long, and will
thread into the oil cooler if you don't replace them. This is good to know
before hand.

Cheers.
