30v 2.8L A/C pulley bypass
I Have searched over and over and have yet to find the information on what belt is needed to bypass the a/c pulley or if i would need a bypass pulley or not. So after several trips to the part store to get the right belt, and yes i did measure it, and still had trouble. I thought i would add some information on this. Some may have better luck just removing the clutch from the a/c compressor that was not so, i had to remove the a/c compressor all together. The pulley will rub the new belt and shorten the life drastically. The right length belt needed to bypass the a/c pulley is 70 1/4 inch. take the old belt in so they get get the right ribbed belt, but make sure it is 70 1/4, you might be able to get away with 70 inches, but i would risk it. Thanks
sorry it is late and my spelling stinks tonight, some may ask why i would do this, but the belt costs 20 dollars, and a new a/c compressor is 520 dollars not counting all the other parts required to keep warranty on the new a/c compressor
