You can pull it with the lines connected, removing the PS pump will let the lines clear, and removing the battery gives you some more working room. Personally I like to get the compressor and lines out of the way (they always get in my way) - the '95 is R134a so replacing isn't very expensive (you can have the refrigerant recovered at a shop if you're legally and environmentally conscious). I also like to pull everything down to the short-block before I put the chains on the engine but that's just me.

It will all rotate out of the way. The quick disconnect fitting rotate freely. Rotate it over to the right side of the car carefully. Put a thick towel over the passenger side fender, and use a bungie chord around the wheel to hold the compressor out of the engine compartment.
