740 Turbo Removal--Can I Remove A/C Receiver/Dryer or How to Remove Top Oil Line Tips

Bah--trying to remove the turbo to stop the smoke out the tailpipe. Got it all disconnected and free but haven't removed the oil line to the top of the turbo so its really in the way even though I tried to work the manifold past it.

There's a 19mm bolt (It is 19mm?) on the engine block for the oil line in a real inconvenient spot between the oil cooler and the block where I can barely get a wrench on it. But I did get a wrench on it enough to have rounded it off a bit and it's not moving. Hm.

So I'm reticent on that now I want to remove the AC Receiver/Dryer to try to get everything out THEN remove the stupid oil line with a proper grip on the wrench hopefully but my manual says DON'T TOUCH THE AC SYSTEM--ONLY PROFESSIONALS!!!!!!

The AC hasn't worked in years--is it pressurized gas, can I disconnect the lines to the Receiver/Dryer to move it?

This task is feeling like I bodged it so I don't want any explosions at this point I just want to get it out thanks if someone can help.
