Even if I'm wrong about that , I believe eliminating the AC compressor from the belt routing would not work ? I'm no expert and could be wrong ? Good luck and keep us updated !
I had work done on the A/C system last summer, but they were unable to repair at a reasonable cost. Because of the age of the car and my financial situation i decided i would not get it fixed. I had the system charged up again, but the pump would not engage. Now the Compressor is noisey. Metal on metal noise when the engine is running. If i can i would just like to bypass the AC pump altogether.
