Hello All,

I just bought this 94' 100 CS that had been parked next to the garage for 4.5 years or so. After I replaced a new battery, the car fired right up and didn't miss 1 beat. There's a growling noise under the hood, after carefully examined, it turned out to be a bad AC compressor. The clutch on the AC compressor was stop & go sort of, which created this growling noise... I couldn't believe the car has no rust on it and only a few scratches and the molding are coming apart...That's ok since I am still in school and all I want is a reliable (sort of) transportation with some class (-:

Anyways, since I am in school still, I would like to skip the air conditioning, besides, the sunroof and windows does work and I guess I will be using that instead. For me to skip the AC compressor, I would need to buy a new shorter belt, correct? If yes, what's the length of the belt do I buy it for? Does anyone done this before and know the answer? Again, I would like to skip the AC compressor, but leave it there without removing it until I have some money later months and perhaps buy a rebuilt AC compressor or something.

Please let me know if you know what's the size of the belt or the part number.

Thank you in advance.

Jay

 

Yes, it can be done.

I successfully bypass the AC compressor with a short serpentien belt without any issues... I got the belt from O'Reily...

Thanks,
