Re: air conditioner belt removed

You will just have a hard time finding the right sized belt to put on the remaining pulleys if you delete the compressor.
I can give you a belt number for eliminated ac that will work great, but you will have to write it down somewhere safe. If you break the belt in a couple years and lose it, you will have to go through the trial and error of finding the right sized belt all over again.

I'm assuming by his SN that the car has rally rims so it should be from 65-87
Since it doesn't have a serpentine belt, if it isn't a classic, it's probably pretty close.
