Step 1) Remove belt and unhook electrical connectors.

Step 2) Remove mounting bolts.

Step 3) Remove compressor.

How much detail do you need?

I'm assuming you haven't taken any hoses or lines loose yet.
Is there any refrigerant left in the system?
If there is you don't want to mess around with it. Go get it recovered first. You don't want to breath that stuff, and it can cause frost burns.
Then you can do whatever you want with the parts you are taking off.

Here's a really dumb question: What are you trying to do?
