You can just by a shorter serpentine belt it will be 83 inches. I just did it today on my 1999 oldsmobile intrigue 3.5 L and it seems to run better than it did even when the compressor was working. It it easy to install yourself you will needs a 1/2 drive to lift up the tensioner and you route the serpentine belt the same way except you do not go around compressor. It is easier to do if you get the overflow tank out of the way it will give you more clearance to work with. You really only have to to remove the top hose that goes to overflow and just move tank to the front of the car leaving bottom hose on. A little cooland will leak out of top hose so just replace once you have everything back together. The whole job can be completed in 20 minutes.
Yes you can. Just put on a smaller serpantine belt. Thats what i did and works fine. My wife couldn't stand the ac anyway.
It is normal for the compressor to cycle on and off If it is cycling excessively could be due to an incorrect refrigerant charge
It is standard procedure to flush contamanated oil from system. if the compressor went bad . also the orfice tube.
On the 99 Olds Intrigue, the camshaft sensor is located on the rear of the engine. It is just above the starter.
Try against the passenger firewall near accumulator Large hose Get kit at Wal-Mart or ?? should have instructions
Only the Olds Intrigue with the 3.5 L
The camshaft sensor on the 99 Olds Intrigue is located on the engine block. It is under the starter, which has to be removed to locate the camshaft sensor.
I'd guess about $350-$400 at a service center for all four wheels. Struts are not a DIY install, unless you have a strut compressor (not likely if you are asking this question).
