I know fordcds.com has been shut down but I really need to get a service manual for my 2001 taurus. My a/c seized and I'm having trouble getting the compressor out since there is only about 1" of space by the bolts. I have a hayes manual but honestly it is a POS. I checked ebay and I found a couple that are $30+ but i'm not even sure if they are legit. I'd like to pick one up for the stang as well. Any suggestions on where to get one? I need to get this thing on the road asap.

This is from my '94 owner's manual; don't know if they have anything for your 2001. These are the official Ford manuals.
You could also try Autozone's on-line service.

Or I could just go on the OASIS website and get the info and copy and paste it. What exactly are you looking for, just the removal procedure? What motor do you have, overhead valve or overhead cam?
zero chance, either way would be awesome. I just really need to get it up and running. Yeah I just need the removal procedure, that way I know exactly what to remove and what can stay. It's such a tight a fit, I really don't want to to take apart the whole front of the car if I don't have to. Its a 2001 ford taurus 3.0 dohc(duratec). Thanks

This is a two part process. The overall procedure looks relatively simple but it refers you to another section for the compressor manifold and tube assembly and thats its own twenty something step process to remove. I think itd be easier for you to look at on a DVD disc on your comp because heres the exact copy and paste and Im sure its not helpful. Like I said theres a seperate process that needs to be done to get it out and thats rather lengthy in it own right. If this isnt something that needs to be done in the next couple of days PM me and Ill send you a service manual DVD. If you need it done right away let me know and Ill try to post all the sections up with the ford pics provided. Ill post the tube assembly removal in a seperate post.
NOTE: If installing a new A/C compressor, the A/C clutch disc and hub (19D786), A/C compressor pulley (19D784) and A/C clutch field coil (19D798) must be inspected and transferred from the old unit to the new unit if suitable for reuse.
NOTE: Installation of a new suction accumulator is not required when repairing the air conditioning system except when there is physical evidence of system contamination from a failed A/C compressor or damage to the suction accumulator.
Remove the compressor manifold and tube assembly (19D734). For additional information, refer to Compressor Manifold and Tube Assembly — 3.0L (4V) in this section.

To install, reverse the removal procedure.
If a new A/C compressor is to be installed, the clutch assembly must be transferred from the old unit to the new unit. For additional information, refer to Clutch and Clutch Field Coil in this section.
If filtering of the refrigerant system is not to be performed, lubricate the refrigerant system with the correct amount of clean PAG oil or equivalent. For additional information, refer to Section 412-00.
Install new O-ring seals lubricated in clean PAG oil or equivalent.
If filtering of the refrigerant system is not to be performed, evacuate, charge and leak test the refrigerant system. For additional information, refer to Section 412-00.
