Pretty easy job (but I've never done it on a 900 with aircon - I hear that makes things harder).
It is a fiddle. You have to remove the alternator together with the bracket. Hex-head bolts, although some of the holes are slotted, at least the bottom one of the a/c is, on newer models. It is slow, turning the bolts a few degrees at a time. You also have to slaked the belts down the back of the engine, more slow work.
