Check if its gassed first by unscrewing the valve cap on the O/S front inner wing and jabbing something in i. If it sprays RLF and give it 5 mins before going back. You'll need to get a professional to de-gas it then, definitely don't cut through a pipe and then RLF cos that would bad for the environment lol.
The belt you need is an 6pk1173
Cut the old belt foo, undo the 4 16mm nut/bolts on the compressor and undo the 8mm allen bolt holding the hoses and the single white wiring plug and drop it off, it is surprisingly heavy.
Remove the front bumper then slam panel and you'll be able to lift up the rad before sliding the fans and air con rad out from underneath. Refit the slam panel and a slim fan ready for when you fit a FMIC.
Where the pipes are bolted to the lower crossmember the bolts are always too corroded to undo so grab them in some grips and bend them back and forwards till they snap off. Everything else is pretty obvious.
