Take belt off, and remove the 4 or 5 imperial bolts...and the blower falls right out.

as for the A/C blower, hold on i've gotta look that up.

Notice

Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
2 Install the blower motor retaining screws.
Tighten

Tighten the blower motor retaining screws to 1.7 N·m (15 lb in).
3 Connect the blower motor cooling tube to the HVAC module.
4 Connect the blower motor resistor electrical connector to the blower motor.
5 Install the I/P lower insulator panel - RH. Refer to Closeout/Insulator Panel Replacement - Instrument Panel (I/P) Lower in Instrument Panel, Gauges and Console.
6 Install the BLO MOT (blower motor) MaxiFuse® #49 to the I/P electrical center.
7 Install the cover to the I/P electrical center.
8 Install the front floor kick-up panel. Refer to Kick-Up Panel Replacement - Front Floor in Interior Trim.
Hope this helps this is on how to R and R the blower...perhaps there's a shortcut.

I would disconnect the neg battery cable before starting ANY electrical work on my C5...just sayin.

It also will help if Ya'll will fill out your public profile info Year of Car, Auto or Manual... these can very a lot from different years.

I'm thinking if you just drive the car hard a couple of times, it probably won't be there much longer?
