My car broke down 2 days ago. I traced it back to a broken AC Compressor pulley which I am assuming the whole compressor is broken. It's winter so I don't need the AC right now, but I do need my car.

Is there a way to disconnect the AC pulley, and buy a shorter belt so my car will run?

I live in Oklahoma so I will need the AC in the summer, I just don't want to spend the money getting the AC Compressor fixed right now.

Anyone have any advice?

Desperately need my pony running.

 

A shorter belt won't work because of the layout of the belt path, however you can buy an "AC Delete" bracket and idle pulley for $30 (or less, check eBay).

 

Thanks for the reply. That is exactly what I was wanting to know!

Is this part only available online, or is it easily obtainable from my local parts store like Autozone, O'Reilley's, etc?

 

You will have to check with them--my gut tells me not...

they all sell the pulley between 30-50 bucks

 

with that ac delete kit would the heat still work?

 

Of course it will, they are separate systems.
