NA - Started long overdue engine / gearbox removal, stuck with AC connector removal..

HELP !!!

1990 NA. Original 1.6 engine.

Trying to get this plug disconnected and I just cannot figure out where the release tab is. It seems to be underneath, but I’m unable to access. Guidance appreciated.

iirc the blue part is 2 pieces, a housing and a connector. the whole thing does not slide out there are two pieces that separate.

For those following along at home I finally got this connector unplugged. There are two little release prongs on the underside

Now to continue the engine pull.
