Cam swap without pulling motor

What about if you are running AC? Contemplating cam swap and not wanting to remove ice cold R12 in B body. If this is a hijack please ignore.
If the AC hoses both enter from the same side you can move it off to the side.

You can cut some wood to span the inner fender wells and rest compressor on the wood and take the engine apart.

Remove hood and hang the compressor from above so it's out of the way.

Lift compressor with cherry picker and work around it.
