its not essential,remove everything other than the a/c then when your lifting the engine you can get more room to the 14mm bolt that passes through the back of the compressor!thats the only awkward bolt really use a 14mm raatchet spanner for ease when you can get your hand in there!then you have the same bolt but facing the front,and 2 underneath facing upwards,you can then drop the pump out of the way

 

if you have none or very little aircon you can just remove the 2hoses going to the condessor then you can pull them out of the way and pull the engine with condensor attached
