A/c Compressor Bypass

[Sirthor1881]

So I have searched a few threads on here and LOST, and I am looking to bypass my a/c compressor due to the clutch shorting out. I need a temp. bypass for now. My question is: Is everyone using the belt made for a kj w/o A/c, and just removing the clutch/pulley assembly? Or does anyone have a good part number for one I can use? I never saw a part number listed on the about 25 threads I read through.

Thank You

Richard

Well, Just my luck that belt is not available near me....Anyone else have a good part number?

Have you removed the compressor... If so, all you need to do is follow the diagram in the thread below, get some string and measure the total length needed once you have installed over all the pulleys.. I used a 79.5" belt, but routed it per my picture attached in thread.. Does not matter the brand, just the total diameter

Honestly I can't remember if I used an 82.5" or a 79.5" belt... it was one of the two though.

I ended up using a 80.5" belt, routed in the exact same path as family KJ did it above. FYI future A/C compressor bypassers, you may need to try a couple different sizes.

Thanks to all who contributed here, you really saved me some time.
