its finally cooled down outside so im ready to work on this Blazer again been way to hot, today its only getting into the low 80s but before I go out I want to post how I remove the AC unit without removing the AC clutch, ive seen some people have had a hard time doing this.

this is the whole unit with bracket removed from truck, all cleaned and ready to go back into my truck



First remove the three nuts from the back of the unit, you have to be able to move the unit around to get the bolts to slide past the clutch.








all three bolts have a flat side on them, this side must be next to the clutch, as the bolt slides up, the unit will still be hard to move because of the bushing (next pic) which are forced against the unit by the nut


I use a pry bar to move the unit around, you will have to move the unit for each bolt to come out ...but a little work and the unit will come out clutch and all. hope this helps
