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.
If it has multiple belts, remove the belt which goes to the compressor. If it has a serpentine belt, reroute the belt so it bypasses the compressor.
if you can reroute the belt to bypass the ac compressor all you need to work out is how much shorter the belt is that you would require
i want a exploded view as a picture ,to show the reroute of the belt.
Google it.
Yes, you can reroute the serpentine belt on a 2000 Monte Carlo SS to bypass the AC compressor. To do this, you'll need to remove the belt from the AC compressor pulley and loop it around the other accessible pulleys according to the belt routing diagram, typically found on a sticker under the hood. Make sure to double-check the alignment and tension of the belt after rerouting to ensure proper operation of the engine accessories.
If that model was available without a/c, you will need to purchase the belt for a 95 town car w/out ac, and follow the appropriate belt routing diagram for that model.
To bypass the AC compressor on a 1991 Mustang, you need to remove the serpentine belt from the AC compressor pulley. Then, reroute the belt around the other pulleys, ensuring it goes around the crankshaft, water pump, and alternator. Make sure the belt is tensioned properly and aligned correctly with all pulleys to avoid slipping or damage. Always refer to a belt routing diagram specific to your vehicle for accuracy.
Yes, But you have to buy a smaller belt. And it is a bit tough to get it on.
To bypass the air conditioning compressor on a 1993 Mercury Topaz, you'll need to remove the drive belt from the compressor pulley. First, locate the serpentine belt tensioner and use a wrench to relieve tension on the belt. Once the belt is off the compressor, you can either leave it off or reroute the belt to bypass the compressor entirely, ensuring that the belt remains taut around the remaining pulleys. Be cautious to check for proper alignment and tension on the new belt setup.
Loosen alternator remove old belt. Reroute new belt, tighten alternator.
can u reroute serp. belt to bypass a\c compressor
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.
