It is a really tight area. You have to move and pry to get it out but it will come out with a little assistance. They always seem to go back in easier for some reason.
If you are talking about the screw that holds the line on, I used an e-torx socket to remove. Normally one that size is fitted to a 1/4'' ratchet but I used an adapter to use a 3/8" ratchet.
How did you get that torx screw off the old compressor? Mine is really stuck on there.
Wher hole did you add the oil
You can add it to either port but if you are draining it first then I would put it back into the port that it came from.
How did you take the radiator fan out? I don't have enough clearance to pull it out

@operationoverhaul I ended taking the bracket off that was above the radiator. Came out with ease!
Why did you drain the oil from the new compressor?
I drain it to be sure that the correct amount is in the compressor. Sometimes it has the correct amount and sometimes they do not.
