AC Receiver/Dryer replacement
My NSX seems to be leaking refrigerant and oil from the sight glass on top of the receiver/dryer.
Generic replacement parts seem to be peanuts, which is great, but access to replace the canister itself looks a bit tricky.
Is it possible to replace the dryer without removing the bumper? If so I can just run the car over to an AC specialist and should expect a quick job, but nothing ever seems to be that easy with this car . . .

yes, the receiver/dryer can be changed without removing the bumper!!! the mobile AC guy changed mine without major disassembly!

Don’t' know the spec of your NSX so just adding a side note with what Jonathan said.
If 91-92 that left the factory with R12, the holder bracket for the drier/receiver has larger diameter than the R134a spec.
These days, the aftermarket drier/receiver is compatible for both the R12/R134a but most likely, designed with the smaller diameter of R134a spec.
Bottom side is held by the bracket and there are two fittings at the top for the in/out pipes so just need preventing the drier body from vibrating.
Just use cable tie to secture it if that is the case.
