Hi Flapper

I just did mine at the weekend and you don't need to remove the body.

Remove passenger wheel and splash guard
Remove turbo pipe heat shield
Undo turbo charge air pipe so it's loose as you need to move it around (you won't get it out)
Remove fan
Remove ancillary belt
Undo power steering pump from bracket (you don't need to undo the pumps pipes)
Remove the power steering pump bracket
Reposition power steering pump out of way
Remove AC pump low pressure pipe
Remove AC high pressure pipe
Remove compressor (3 bolts)

It's a Censored of a job but can be done

Hardest part is the rear bolt on the power steering bracket if you are pre 08, easier in later vehicles

Good luck Thumbs Up
