I would use a totally enclosed motor.
The two types of refrigeration systems are vapor compression systems and absorption systems. Vapor compression systems use a compressor to circulate refrigerant, while absorption systems use heat to drive the cooling process.
Open drive.

The shaft seal in the open drive type compressor is particularly susceptible to leaks in low-pressure refrigeration systems. This seal is exposed to the atmosphere and can deteriorate over time, leading to refrigerant leaks. Regular maintenance and monitoring of the seal can help prevent leaks in the system.
increase drive pulley size
If this is the a/c compressor, yes you can. You will just not have air.
This type of compressor uses a special drive to control The speed of the unit. Also, saves more energy than a fixed speed equivalent.
The A/C compresor is low on the front of the engine, up inside the engine compartment. I have never heard of a serpentine blt "bending" a pulley... When an idler pulley bearing fails and siezes, it will break a belt. This is most likely the cause of belt failure. If the A/C compressor drive is not turning by hand, this is most likely the cause. There is a bearing on the nose of the compressor that allows the hub to rotate and "drive" the compressor when the clutch is activated. The A/C clutch is replaceable without replacing the entire compressor assembly. Check all the pulleys and make sure another one is not also failed.

If you mean an AC - air conditioner compressor, definitely yes. Assuming that the drive belt is not an issue and the cars computer will allow it to senses the disconnection. You could if it was an air conditioner compressor but it would be hot!
I have a 1991 Olds ninety eight equipped with "autolevelling" rear struts that are inflated with an onboard air compressor after each drive because the struts lose air slightly as you drive. So what you may be hearing is this compressor instead of the blower fan if your car has this option. The compressor is fairly loud and can easily be mistaken for a blower fan. It can mean trouble though, if it stays on for any longer than thirty seconds to a minute. I did not know it, but my struts were blown so the compressor would turn on after each drive and run for 30 minutes, which will eventually burn it out, if this is the case unplug the compressor immediately. So if your compressor is running longer than normal, your rear struts are likely done for.
Remove the drive belt from the air conditioner compressor. Remove the air conditioning hoses from the compressor. Remove the retaining bolts from the air conditioner compressor.
