Most likely the problem is your alternator....the battery light actually does not monitor battery condition, only the charging system. I'd check the voltage regulator and the fuses first. The fuses are the cheapest fix and the voltage regulator will run about 25% less than an alternator.
Yes you can I did and if you take a string and run it around the pulleys and not the compressor, then subtract about an inch for tension, it works just fine. I had to take the belt back a couple of times to get one that actually fit
dont work to fired run
