How difficult to remove the AC unit in a 69 fish? I need to temporarily move to repair the fuel line that runs behind it.
 
Take the tension off the belt and remove the belt from the compressor drive.
Remove the bolts that fix the compressor to its brackets.
There will be enough flex in the ac hoses to allow you to position the compressor out of the way.

It's a ***** everything is in the way.
Is this the factory fuel line? If so you may be able to remove the entire line and snake in a new one or replace it with a flexible line.
If you go the flex route I DO NOT recommend you use rubber fuel hose.

You will want to avoid actually disconnecting the compressor if at all possible, assuming your ac works, since that would result in a refrigerant recharge/expense.
