Have your mechanic run the serpentine belt around the compressor. I had a bad compressor last year, and the mechanic just re-routed the belt until I could afford a new compressor-then he installed it and re-routed the belt again so it would run the compressor. Purchase a serpentine belt the same vehicle but without A/C. The shorter belt will drive all the other accessories and is routed the same as the belt used with A/C, except for the compressor.
remove compressor put a bypass pulley in its place replace belt
yes you can bypass ac with either a ac bypass pulley made by dorman or get a longer belt
hey had this same prob u cant bypass it but you can buy a bypass pulley but gotta remove the compressor i tried to bypass with a belt but its not enough tension so get the pulley and your good to go
You can't bypass with a belt alone. You have to by a bypass pulley kit. The new pulley takes the place of the ac compressor and you use the same size belt.
Google Pontiac boneville ac compressor bypass pulley. There are a few places that sell a replacement pulley that goes in the spot of the compressor that allows use of the original serpentine belt.
if you can reroute the belt to bypass the ac compressor all you need to work out is how much shorter the belt is that you would require
Bypass, in what way? Your pulley is broken, and the belt is off. The A/C will no longer work and the compressor will not turn.
Yes , but you must remove the compressor and install the bypass pulley. The belt designed for non ac trucks will not work on trucks with a.c. The belt tensioner pulley goes the wrong way
There is an available bypass kit, but the belt is the same. You remove the ac compressor and install an idler pulley.
pulley from same car with no air bolts in but u need to remove compressor
No, Have a look at the way the belt is. You cant just get a shorter belt and bypass the AC compressor as the belt would foul on the tensioner. u need a AC bypass pulley and bracket, and so far, i can only find these genuine
You can bypass the a/c compressor on the 1989 cadillac fleetwood by simply using a smaller accessory belt. I have found that a 77 inch belt works perfectly. There is no need for a bypass pulley and you won't find one for this model anyway.
