If you take off the passenger wheel and splash guard then you should pretty good access to do it.

You want to remove the engine to take off the a/c compressor and bolt on a UDP? Talk about overkill! Save yourself a days work and leave the engine in.

I would guess more like 7 days if you don't know how to remove the a/c compressor, no offense

It's just a matter of removing a few bolts to take off the compressor. Removing the lines and purging the coolant in the system is a little bit tricky, but it's not real hard.

In my opinion, you should leave the compressor on and just use a shorter accessory belt to bypass the A/C. It saves the trouble of removing the system, but it's still there in case you want to use it again later.
