Separate the cooler lines linking the transmission to the A/C condenser cooling area and put plugs or tape in each open part or fitting. Take out the securing bolt on the left of the A/C condenser and then the nut that holds the A/C discharge line to the right side. Take off the A/C discharge line and throw out the O-ring seal and gasket.
