I need some assistance on removing the AC hoses on my 84' Westy to replace them.

I've checked the archives for information on how to do this, but don't find anything (may be doing it wrong).  I've also checked the Bentley and it's not quite clear either.

Anyway, I've pulled the front cover off and can see where the hoses are attached to the unit, but it doesn't look like I have enough room to get to the connectors.  I am assuming I will have to drop the housing to get access.  The mounting bolts for the housing also seem to be inaccessible.

Can anybody give some pointers on how to do this?  Or at least tell me if the information is in the archives.

Thanks
