You need to look the movement on the center plate while you turn the nut in the center until it's loose, take it out and and remove the plate, then remove the first C-clip, then the rest of the clutch, then the other C-clip and the coil (if for some reason the wire that powered the AC compressor snapped) <--- this was the procedure on a Sanden 508 (non-stock) unit.

And this can all be done while the compressor is still in the car?

I'm sorry for the very late answer, but to complete the info for anyone else: It can be done with the compressor installed.
