I installed a new AC compressor. I do not have freon in the new compressor and it is not hooked up. My question is... will it hurt the vehicle if I drive with out hooking up the AC?

No harm will come from driving it. You just don't want to use the AC system without any refrigerant in it - that could harm the compressor. The refrigerant also cycles the compressor oil, so running the compressor without the refrigerant in it is detrimental in this regard. Also, since you had to open up your AC system to replace the compressor, you should have also replaced either the receiver-drier or the accumulator (your vehicle will be equipped with one or the other, depending on whether you have a Thermal Expansion Valve system or Fixed Orifice Tube system - it'll never have both), as they contain a desiccant which will become fully saturated within five minutes of exposure to atmospheric air. The desiccant in these components is vital to the proper operation of the AC system.

Can you bypass the ac compressor with a pulley or belt on a 97 jeep wrangler tj?
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.
