The bentley manual covers ac compressor removal in section 201 I believe...the engine removal section. IT's pretty short...
You can see all four of the bolts. More than can be said for the alternator. Note: I would cut/remove the ac belt and disconnect the wire to the chassis harness and evacuate the system and remove the hp hose/manifold from the compressor before unbolting the compressor...it takes a little oomph on the manifold bolt and it's just plain easier with the compressor in there. Also, with the manifold/hoses off, the compressor doesn't have anything else holding it in but the four bolts)
Chances are the ac tensioner pulley needs to be replaced too.
Consider replacing the hp hose/manifold to the compressor and the receiver dryer when you replace the compressor. Depending on the failure mode of the compressor, you might have to thoroughly flush the entire system and replace the expansion valve too.
