Default LT4 AC Clutch Replacement

Can this be done without removing the AC lines coming out the front of the compressor. Would appreciate any directions or sage advice. Thanks

Yes, I did mine about 5 years ago, no need to remove the lines, but I seem to recall that I needed a decent pair of snap ring pliers to do the job. Overall it wasn't that bad of a job.
