Re: install new belt to bypass AC compressor

Used compressors usually work just fine if you get the system evacuated before recharged.

You may also want to consider swapping out your accumulator and at the very least your orifice tube as they eat a lot of metal shavings when compressors fail.

If it is just the bearing that is going bad, you can usually just replace the bearing.
