NY A/C issues please,help. overcharged system....

Hi Guys,
Long story short. One of my 8s (I know it's my fault), A/c is not working.
Details
I had that compressor replaced twice by someone who I should've not trusted.
Replaced a third time.
Had a leak in the system so just kept adding freon. It only took one time to overcharge it and apparently I blew the lines that are connected to the compressor. I felt the pressure escape as I was driving and I stopped to let some freon out. Went back to driving and next thing I hear the pressure of the system ( sounded like a pressure cooker being depressurized. I notice the air was warm so I turned off the ac. At home, I tried to add freon and I could swear I could hear it escape thru the lines by the compressor. I tried searching on how to remove all the ac lines, change the o rings, probably getting used ac lines from ebay ( the ones that are connected to the compressor and then recharging it.
Don't know exactly what is going on but I can't find information on how to remove the entire system . Do I have to remove the bumper? To change and inspect the condenser? Etc.
I really need your help.
Do not want to go to the stealership.
Thanks
2004 Rx8 Grand Touring, competition yellow, 6 speed.

Here is the service manual for the HVAC assembly.
This will instruct you on how to remove the system.
Good luck!
