remove engine from top

Ok so I'm getting ready to remove my engine, I don't want to remove condenser or ac pump, is this possible to do, is it easier to remove heads first or remove the whole engine, any help would be appreciated

You can leave the ac pump and condenser connected. It comes out easy with or without the heads on.

It can be done, yes. But a new condenser is $75 that is clean and not full of debris. Why are you concerned about the AC?

Don't want to have to get the ac serviced again , all the little things add up.

no reason to disconnect anything on the AC. The stuff comes off the motor no problem. You will have to remove the intake, crank pulley, and use a tilt.
