If you want to remove the Ac compressor completly, you can pick up a bypass pully and bracket at Murray's or Pepboys for around 25 bucks. It just bolts implace of the compressor and reuses the stock belt. You might have a worn bearing on the compressor shaft which could cause the grinding noise. Make sure that it's the AC compressor that is grinding, they can be quite costly. Hope this helps.
