On Willit? with the GM AC, the dealer cut a hole in the belly pan to remove and install the battery, the hole is covered with a panel held on with sheetmetal screws. I still have to jack up the front of the car to get the battery out just to keep the battery posts from arcing and sparking if they touch the sheetmetal.
