Here's  one way to do this...but not necessarily  the fastest

 

Translate   A  to  (  3 + 2, - 1 - 6)  =  (5, - 7)

Rotating  this  90°  clockwise produces  (  -7, - 5)

Now "undo"  the translation....so we have   ( -7 - 2, -5 + 6)  =  ( -9, 1)

 

Tranlate  C  to  (5 + 2,  4  - 6)  = (7, -2)

Rotating  this 90°  clockwise  produces  ( -2, - 7)

"Undo" the translation  =  ( -2 - 2 , -7 + 6)  = (-4, -1)

 

Here's  a  pic  :
