well then is $50.00 worth shaving off ~10 lbs from your car? (Now this might be a different story if the ac clutch itself is bad, mine would lock up so I either had to replace it or remove it, but if your compressor is just out, you could probably leave it on the car with no worries)

ok the belt your going to need i believe is a Gates K060888. Here is a diagram of how its routed, you will need to loosen the tensioner of the block in order to slip the belt under the pulley.



I have some pics below to give you a better idea, and thats about it, cheap and easy. you will also need ac line disconnect tools which are cheap and you can get basically anywhere.
