Ok...on the 'arm' that wraps around the compressor/motor, the one with the rib, you pull it out...you'll see a tab that goes in there...then pry it from the head/latch looking point, which needed to be pulled out a bit, but use the prying force upward to separate.
ok...i did this in front of the laptop

gotta go to the garage and see what else I can do at 11:30pm
