Default Cam replacement Question: A/C coil

I've got my engine apart, hood off and radiator removed but I can't tell how to move the A/C coil out of the way without disconnecting it. Can someone shed some light on this please?
Funny how a header change can grow into a cam, cylinder head, and intake swap :D

Grab the coil on the drivers side and gently lift up. the hoses will tilt up as you lift the coil. It's a two person job, but you will be able to lift the drivers side up just above the point that the cam will slid in. good luck.

Yep! It spun out of the way just as you said it would. Thanks Paul.
Like to guess how long I spent trying to get either a 3/8ths or 7/16ths on the METRIC lower bolts on the A/C coil? :mad
