Message	There is one important detail. Unless the crowfoot has a center to center distance of about 1", your extension will not clear the beefy portion of the AC support bracket sufficiently (indicated by the green arrow). So, the CF on the left (sourced off the rack from NAPA) is a winner, the other is not. As far as clearing the way to attack the compressor goes, Zxpress' advice worked for me: remove the top radiator hose, fan shroud, fan and two uppermost rubber hoses by the right TB Thanks and a hat tip to everyone who offered advice! . Chance favors the informed
