1996 Honda Accord A/C compressor replacement?

I've replaced compressors in 5 GM vehicles but have never done one in a Honda (or actually anything that's not GM). A mechanic told my uncle that his Accord needs one so I'm looking to put one in for him and I just have a few questions: Is there anything unique about changing one of these out, or should it be about the same as any other? Will it be easy to get to? Where is the expansion valve located and do I need to replace it? What would be involved in replacing it? And how do the compressors in these cars tend to fail? Leaking, seizing, etc?
Thanks
