The A/C compressor in my car went out and instead of paying to replace it I've decided to opt-in for the A/C delete pull option. problem being I need my car for work asap and the part won't be here for at least a week. I've got 2 different belts I've found on other forums that were sworn by to fit without the A/C compressor but I cannot for the life of me figure out the route they took to make them fit (one being a 72.5" that's too short and the other being an 82.2" being too long.) if anyone has a diagram or another way that I could route this to make it fit that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all again!

Something with a pulley has to be mounted where the compressor goes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

Why didn't you just leave it not working, still there just acting as the pulley? If the pulley was grinding and bad IDK availability of just a clutch. There are/were kits that were all the brackets to mount a dummy in place but I suggest end this go get a used one - bring old one make sure it's a match AND that the pully spins freely. Plug it in fan(s) may not work at all without it there. It won't try to pump/compress gas if no refrigerant in it, T Conner.Hogan_09 New User Nov 20, 2022, 2:19 AM Post #4 of 6 (1125 views) Re: 2003 Chevy impala 3.8 179k kms A/C delete Sign In My main issue being that when the ac compressor is in the loop with the belt it begins to smoke and seize bogging down my engine and causing a plethora of other issues. And I do have one of those mock pullys ordered and on the way but I need my car asap and the pulls won't be here for atleast a week.

Go in person and spin it if already out of donor vehicle. When plain not engaged a whole compressor is just a pully. Hope cheap enough used is used. Been a while I have the kit (old now) used to replace just a clutch bearing some "peened" in place if you could take it off. Take to a shop that could if no time or waiting for tools to do it. Used Should be cheat IDK where you are what's available, you could ask. Change it later if you want it totally out of there. I'll go look for prices for US Tom Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Nov 20, 2022, 3:09 AM Post #6 of 6 (1115 views) Re: 2003 Chevy impala 3.8 179k kms A/C delete Sign In 2nd post same thing > >A/C Compressor Clutch Pulley Bearing 40mm ID x 62mm OD x 20.6mm V5 A6 R4 HT6 HU6Opens in a new window or tab Order by 4pm EST and this part ships today!
