You would need a different sized belt, and I doubt there would be the proper clearance if you have AC but decide not to use it. I don't believe the Intrigues came without AC, as all trim classes (GL, GX, GXL) have AC as standard. Even if you have the AC compressor hooked up, it doesn't engage unless you turn it on. AC is needed for defrost/defogging also.
.You can remove the air conditioner compressor, from your Oldsmobile automobile, by removing the compressor belt. Remove the air conditioning Freon. Remove the Freon lines. Remove the retaining bolts
The 2001 Oldsmobile intrigue air conditioning low pressure port is located on the top of the air conditioner compressor. There are two ports on the compressor. The low pressure for is on the left-hand side.
The 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue evaporator case can be found at the bottom of the engine compartment. You can follow the evaporator hose from the air conditioning compressor directly to the evaporator case.
Low pressure port - Larger hose from air compressor
Oldsmobile Intrigue was created in 1997.
Just look at your old belt, and draw your own diagram on a peice of paper.
The alternator is located on the front left side of the car (facing the car) Above the AC compressor.
Most likely loss of refrigerant.
Oldsmobile Intrigue 1999 is negative ground.

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.
