You can remove the compressor from the engine by accessing it through the driver wheel will (remove the wheel/tire obviously). There are two studs and two bolts, and then the high and low side hoses. However, for the 200 series, I don’t remember if you can sneak it out between the body and frame rail and upper control arm. If that’s not possible, you’ll have to remove the oil filter housing/cooler and pull it out through the bottom between the swaybar and crossmember (where you took your photo).
