A/c compressor locked up

[Tyler G]

I have a 93 sho 3.0 and I was wondering if anyone new what size belt I woukd need to bypass the ac compressor? I wanna leave it on there for now and deal with it when it gets nice out I just don't wanna go the the bypass kit

I think it is archived somewhere on the forum if you try the search feature. If it is not, run a string along the belt path without the compressor and you can find a belt that comes close enough to make work with adjustment. Get the length in inches and mm to make search easier. All you really need is length and belt rib count to find a usable replacement

if the compressor is locked up just remove the disk and leave the belt alone. its only held on by the center nut. don't lose the shims! if the bearing inside the pulley is locked up then you definitely need to bypass it.
