Replacement steps A/C compressor?

Does anyone have the replacement steps for the A/C compressors?

I see a lot of threads on the topic but no one seems to mention the steps. Which bolts hold it on, etc

Before unbolting the compressor take it into an AC shop have them recover the refrigerant. It is illegal to vent refrigerant even R134 into the atmosphere.

3 bolts hold it on.
Looking down at the compressor the 2 on the right side are easy to get too.
The one on the left is a bit of a bitch because you have to feel for it.
