My compressor is shot!

[InfraredMonkey]

I dropped my 'Maro off at the shop this morning and just received a call with ****ty news. :cry: The A/C compressor is shot to hell, I was hoping it was just the clutch that was causing the grinding/squealing noise, lame!

So I was thinking maybe I can just get a shorter belt? Bypass the A/C all together? It's going to be awhile until I can either replace it or just get a delete bracket (I don't use my A/C what-so-ever). I'm as broke as a goat.

Any ideas?

I got a shorter belt, 61" (and with 61.5" works, but not tight enough)

I'm having a hard time getting it over the water pump, right now I have it feed from the alt down to the PS pump, down and around the crank, up and over the water pump.

I don't want to take off the alt, since it's just stationary and if I remove power my Bose radio will cut off.

Help me PLEASE!!!

I got it finally..

Slide out the alt and got the belt in, but it was a ***** to bolt back on.

It's all good now.

YOu should be utilizing your tensioner to get the belt on. Shouldn't have to remove anything.
