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 Anthony L.
