So I am taking my exhaust manifold off again, the first time we thought it was just the seal. We think that the manifold may have warped on the one where the leak is coming from. I have another one I got from Paul Grant and now have the seals to put it in. My question is, can you get the manifold in and out without taking out the A/C compressor? My whole front end was apart the last time I did it but now everything is back together.

Will probably attempt it tomorrow.

 

For some work guys lay AC compressor to the side with hoses still attached.

 

That is the way I had it before. So pull the compressor and move it to the side. Hoping this stops my choo choo leak

 

Yup set the compressor off to the side. It's more of a pain if your truck has SAI but still doable.
