Pull the belt, should be three bolts on the pulley itself. once extracted pulley puller to remove hammer new one on with dead blow or rubber mallet assuming you get complete pulley set already assembled with clutches (highly recommended) replace belt

SOURCE: air suspension problem

your car will bottom out if air leaks out.

there are two options replace the airbags with new airbags
or replace with crown vic coil springs.
I recently bought new air bags from ebay brand new for like 230 for set
these were from arnott suspension and were very nice quality lifetime warranty

if you look on ebay you will see the conversion kit for coil springs also

SOURCE: 1997 lincoln town car 4.6 with a p0430 fault code

I will make an assumption here, we know what the root word means. This code was extracted from the computer by? What this is telling you one of 2 things: The Bank 2 oxygen sensor down stream of the catalytic converter (there are 2 converters, one for each bank of cylinders on the 4.6ltr engine) is bad and/or that the Bank 2 catalytic converter is no longer doing the job it was designed to do. Simply, Catalysts wear out. They are good for approx 100,000 miles (as required by Federal Law). Again, I assume that the reason the intake manifold was replaced was because it had a crack in one, or more, of the runners? (part that feeds the head of a manifold). It may have taken a while to find this as being the cause of why the car running incorrectly, maybe rough. This means, that during the time the car was being driven with the problem, the amount of unburned, or not within spec exhaust gases, coming off the side of the engine affected by the intake issue was higher than normal. This out of balance level of exhaust gases were being dumped into the converter on that side of the engine, thus causing the converter to have to run hotter, work harder, or even at the time the gas was being processed through, causing deposits to be formed in the converter, thus shortening it's life span. The Bank 1 side of the engine, apparently, did not have the issue and it's catalytic converter's life was not affected. I hope this makes sense to you.

SOURCE: just had car dealership repair 1997 lincoln town air ride

Those Lincolns are notorious for that,I'd just get a set of coil springs out of a Crown Victoria cop car(junk yard)and swap them out.Done it many times,you can do it in about an hour,and they'll never leak down again.By the way,there's some O-rings in that system.Make some soapy water and spray every connection,just maybe you'll get lucky.

I think it means that the clutch on the compressor is about to go bad. There is high resistance in the field coil that energizes the magnet that locks the clutch down. You're going to need a new clutch. The only other thing I can think of is one of the clutch power wires might be somehow grounded to the frame (pinched) causing a short but that would be instantaneous.

Greetings, My 1997 Lincoln Town Car's A/C compressor clutch just went out with a shower of sparks and a cloud of smoke. I stopped and poured water on it to cool it down. Question: Do I need to replace...

You can replace just the clutch. You will need a special puller to remove the clutch, it screws to the front of the compressor and presses it off. I believe the same tool is used to install it, also. Not completely sure on that point. The tool may be able to be rented from an auto parts store, or may be available on eBay for a reasonable price.
