Re: AC compressor replacement on 2001 Taurus/Vulcan

You're correct, the factory service manual (for the 2002 model year anyway) states that you need to remove the compressor to change the field coil and clutch. It also suggests replacing the evaporator core orifice as well as the accumulator.

The steps to remove the compressor include removing the power steering pump. There are a lot of diagrams in the service manual steps. If you send me a Private Message with an e-mail address for you, I'll e-mail you a PDF of the steps from the 2002 service manual. I do not have the 2001 service manual.
