can you bypass a 2001 oldsmobile aurora ac compressor?
That depends on what you're trying to do. If you just want to make certain it doesn't turn on, unplug the clutch wire at the front of the compressor.
Yes you can, use a duralast belt # 745K6 from autozone, it will run you about $28
.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

under normal conditions an A/C compressor will cycle on and off as head pressure increases and decreases - rapid cycling indicates an improper refrigerant charge
Remember, the Aurora must ALWAYS run with the air conditioning on. Refer to your owners manual. The Aurora front end design requires the need for the ac always running

More than likely the a/c compressor is bad. The compressor clutch could be shorted also.
Put it in the low side. The small round valve. Make sure the ac is on.
