WHERE IS A AIR COMPRESSOR AC FOR A 2003 FORD TAURUS SES LOCATED?

Modern automobiles don't use compressed air for air conditioning. They use a chemical gas, commonly called "Freon" Your AC compressor is easily found on the top, front of the engine. It's that big round tube looking thing that's attached to the accessory drive belt, and has two rubber hoses connected between the compressor and the passenger side firewall.

I had some minor front end damage… The passenger side headlight, the hood, grill, bumper and they had to replace the fan shroud… Do you know a reason why the air compressor would have to be removed?
