You can remove the four machine screws that secure the compressor to the bracket. You can get a box-end wrench on the nuts for all of them, at least if the wrench isn't too fat. For three of them you can also get a bit in the socket in the head. For the one blocked by the intake manifold, I grab the head end of it with a small vice grips with narrow jaws.
Undoing the bracket can also be done, particularly if the bracket is the newer type with the slot on the bolt behind the alternator so you don't have to do more than loosen the bolt. I had to bend a 12 mm wrench to get it at the right angle and then hold it with a big vice grips to get enough force on the little bugger.
