Default AC compressor removal

How in the heck to you get the AC compressor out. I have everything disconnected but can't seem to wiggle it out of the car.

Just did that. You have to remove the water pump and then it is a piece of cake. The accumulator is behind the battery on the firewall and the expansion valve is on the line right next to the battery case.
