Marshall,

As I recall, I disconnected the cable, removed the left taillight, and
unscrewed the screws attaching the ECU mounting bracket to the
frame/body.  After removing the ECU/bracket assembly I then removed the
ECU from the bracket.  It was kind of cramped but I can not recall the AC
lines being in the way.

Hope that helps,

Tony
