Possible to remove the refrigeration system in an Ideal 35

Wondering if it can be removed intact to get at the compressor area for restoration. Not sure how its attached to the lower shelf.

I believe that someone posted a string of pictures while restoring a 35 some time ago. Showed the tub with the cooling lines originally secured with an adhesive. The entire unit was disassembled and new cooling lines attached.

I went looking and couldn’t locate it just now. Maybe someone else will lead us to that post.

Great thanks for the research. I will help me decide on the extent of dismantle. Just really what to clean up and repaint the compressor area maybe I can move the assembly around to get at most areas.
