Changing AC compressor and looked in FAQ no help. Anyone ever changed an ac compressor on a S90? My question is this done from the top job remove ALT, PS pump and then the AC compressor or can you do it from underneath the car while on ramps.

Thanks in advance

    Drain the oil out of the compressor and replace it with the same amount of PAG, unless the compressor comes with instructions to do otherwise.

    I did not remove alternator,though it may have helped.Worst part was removing bracket attached to motor mount to gain access to lower rear bolt.

    The offending bracket appears to only hold a retainer for the wiring harness.
    I did not re-install it.Access was from the top and underneath.Not an easy compressor to replace.
