I am fixing to drop the engine on my 914 have disconnected all the top parts this morning was looking at the air conditioner compressor it looks like it may hang the engine up, does this need to be removed or will the engine w/ transmission drop and clear it without removeing, it very tight in that spot?

You should be able to drop the engine with the compressor in place. It will come straight down. It is heavy enough that it will unbalance the engine if you are using he common single floor jack method, but you can still draw the jack and engine/tranny out from the rear. Have a few pieces of wood blocking on hand to keep the compressor side from tipping too much. Be sure to disconnect the AC hoses as well as all other wires and hoses. I forgot and broke the sump temp sender wire last time I did this. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

All it has is the compressor there are no other parts to the a/c. The engine is butted up against the compressor so I take it it is not attached to the engine itself thanks for the reply and help. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
