Default C5 ac hose assembly replacement

Hello it's my firs day on the forum and apologize if I'm not using correctly. I'm trying to replace my low pressure ac hose assembly that mounts to back of compressor and I can't find any instructions of the best way to get the line out! Do I have to drop cradle or remove compressor(again, I just replaced it!) or is there another alternative? I tried searching the forum and couldn't find a thread. I apologize if I'm doing it wrong thanks

So I looked it over and decided to remove exhaust manifold which gave me access+ I only broke one exhaust manifold flange bolt and one plug wire and about three knuckles! I think this is the easiest way without a hoist. I removed right front tire and sp.ent minimal time on my back. If anyone knows an easier way I still would like to know just in case thanks have a great day!
