Could someone tell me where the exhaust pipe shield is on a 2001 Pontiac Sunfire is?
Also will removing the AC compressor bracket cause the compressor to fall?
I need to remove the engine mount strut bracket. In order to get to it, the AC compressor bracket has to be removed and I’m not sure if removal of the bracket will cause the compressor to move out of place.
Thanks!

You will most likely have to remove the serpentine belt and compressor to get at the fastners (bolts) that hold the bracket on the block. Just use some tie-wire (picture hanging wire) to hold it out of the way but leave the refrigerant lines connected. The exhaust pipe is the pipe that connects the exhaust manifold to the catalytic converter.
The heat shield is a thin metal cover that protects parts of the engine or enviornment from the hot exhaust pipe.
