How is it done?
Can I just take away the compressor and leave the pipes there? r does the lot got to go?
Does it matter if I cut through one of the pipes and leave the other half there?
etc.

You can replace it for an non-aircon aux belt. You've gotta take the lot out (engine bay) and have the air con discharged correct before you start any work.

There is when I have to find a way to get the intercooler pipes through it.
I may have to negotiate around it somehow as there is no way I can afford a new fan belt and have that fitted etc. as well as the rest of the thing done.
