First remove the tensioner and belt. Second the AC compressor. Third the center panel on the wheel wells. You then may be able to see most of the wire looms. Carefully unclip the looms ( they will be brittle) and start replacing the wires one by one.....

And just to be clear.....unbolt the A/C compressor from bracket...do NOT remove pressure hoses.. Just sit the compressor off to the side a bit so that you can route the plug wires under the compressor.
Plan on about two full hours to do.

Make sure to use some dielectric grease on the boots, and be careful to "burp" the air out of the boots on the opti end. I also found it helpful to mark the cylinder numbers on both ends of the wire with a Sharpie (my original wires were numbered, but the replacements were not).
