In the manual I have it just says:

Pump and fluid reservoir removal:

1) With a suction gun, remove as much fluid as possible from the reservoir.
2) Disconnect the 2 hoses at the pump and fasten them in a raised position to prevent fluid from draining out.
3)Loosen and remove the pump belt.
4)Remove the pivot bolt and the adjusting bolt, and lift out the pump reservoir and bracket.

Now that is from the '62 manual but mine is different. The pump and reservoir are separate but it still looks like it would just unbolt and come out from below the air conditioner compressor.
That being said, its pretty tight in there and you may have to try a few different tool combinations before you get one that works for you.
You know as hard as these cars seem to be to work on, I changed the plugs in about 30 minutes which I can't do it that quick in my Bronco with the 351. I love old cars.
