Default A/C Hose Remove

I need to replace my A/C hoses on my '77. I can see it already, the one that goes on the condenser is going to be a pain in the butt. Its very tight and hard to get a wrench in their. Is there an easy way to get that line off. We are thinking taking the hood off, so I'm able to turn the wrench. I really don't want to do that. There must be another way to do it.. Anyone ever do one...

Taking the hood off is the best option. You and a helper can do it in 10 minutes. You may need a crows foot wrench to get easier access on the bottom fitting.
