How do you reroute a serpentine belt on a 92 Oldsmobile 88 Royale to eliminate the AC Compressor?

You cannot reroute the existing belt if you eliminate the A/C compressor from the equation as it will then be too long. You will have to get a smaller belt that will work without routing it around the A/C compressor. That may be very difficult as no Olds 88 came without A/C. Possibly you can find a belt for another vehicle with the same engine that came from the factory without A/C. Any Auto Parts store may be able to help. As long as the compressor clutch is not locked up and the bearing are good, you can just use the compressor as an idler pulley, and simply not use the A/C. Pull the fuse and unplug the clutch so it cannot be engaged.

Ac compressor froze up can you reroute the serpentine belt so as not to use ac compressor on a 1995 jeep with an inline 6?
Yes, but chances are that you will have to take the compressor off and install an "a/c compressor by-pass pulley". You will probably have to order it as very few places have them in stock. Check with NAPA auto parts. They are the best. AutoZone, Advance, O'Reilly don't carry this item. Check also online since you have to order it but NAPA usually gets it faster than the post office can deliver. NAPA seems to be next day while online ordering SHIPS in two business days.
How do you reroute a serpentine belt on a 95 Lumina APV to eliminate a lock AC Compressor?
You can't reroute it with the existing belt. You could, I suppose, install a smaller belt that would work. Try a belt for this same model engine, in which the vehicle did not have A/C. That should work. <<Palmboy - 051605>> For a 1994 Lumina APV (3.8 L), I bypassed the A/C compressor with a replacement serpentine belt that was 73" in length for ~$21 @ Advanced Discount Autoparts (original belt is ~102"). My problem was an A/C clutch that was making a grinding noise. I determined the new belt length using a piece of cord to measure the new (required) belt length by routing it around the engine accessory components (i.e., Power Steering Pump, Tensioner, Alternator, Water Pump, etc.). I purchased two belts, one @ just over the measured lentgh (73") and one @ under (72") - then returned the 72" belt. This seemed to work fine (so-far-so-good) for getting my vehicle back on the road without the risk of the A/C clutch siezing and throwing the belt. PB
