The only way you can do this that I am aware of, is to by an after market pully for the vehicle, you have to unplug and remove the A?C compressor, and bolt the new pully/bracket to the engine blok in place of the compressor.
You realy can't. If your intention is not to power the A/C unplug the wire that connects to the electric clutch. It should be right behind the pully.
It probably has a tension release pully, not a bolt. The pully has no function except tension. Your repair manual probably has instructions on changing the belt and a photo of the small pulley. Mary
Check the allignment of all the pully's.
There are 2 separate belts. one for A/C, and one for Alternator / water pump. You can safely remove the A/C belt with no problem. In my oppinion, & as an RX-8 Owner, there is only minuscule advantage to disabling your A/C, and you're stuck sweating your balls off in the heat.
get a piece of rope and a tape measure. problem solved Not sure about a '99, but on the 2000, with 4.7, you can't bypass the a/c unless you buy a idler pully that's mounted on a bracket to replace the a/c compressor.
95 Grand AM V6 water pump is fairly easy. You have to take the serpentine belt off. The water pump pully has 4 bolts in it take them out the pully slides off and there are 4 more bolts that hold the water pump in take those out and the water pump slides out.
remove the bolt on the pully or use a pully remover depending on the style of pully and put new one on.
There is a idle pully that you put a socket and rachet on and rotate it so that it takes the tension off the belt.
One of the pulleys is out of alignment,usually it is the tension pully. Replace it and problem will go away.
