[Shotimes] Bypassing A/C pulley?

[Steve Tatro]

We're talking about an A/C compressor, right?

While I'll gladly pay you to do the work, I'd love to know where to pick up
a working compressor for $100.

The ones I've seen are rebuilt and cost $300-400 or more!

Also, on Napa's website, there's a disclaimer on the compressor page "To
Insure System Performance & as a Condition of Warranty, a new Filter Drier /
Accumulator & Orifice Tube must be used when Replacing Compressor. We
Recommend the Condenser, Evaporator, Hoses & Expansion Devices be Replaced
when Condition is Suspect.@, w/ 10P15F A/C Compressor"

So, what all would you be willing to replace?  Oh, and you have a license
and/or access to R-12?

Hell, if you want to spend a day at my house I can keep you busy.  Fuel
pump, subframe connecotors (since you'll have a welder, obviously), A/C, '96
brake upgrade (knuckles and all), etc.  I've got parts, just need a
mechanic!

Let me know if you're serious.

Are you crazy? A 1000?  I cant see it being that much, if you want grab a
new one (I was told it was only a 100.00) and Ill thrown it in, in a few
weeks for you when I come back down there. Takes maybe 2 hrs to do the whole
job. Ill refill the system too.

This is of course that you have no other leaks in the system, and the cost
of the compressor really is that cheap.

Whatever!  If it's the compressor, and I take it to a "professional", I'll
likely be out over $1000.  Also known as the current trade-in value of the
car ;^)

Thanks for the kind words, though ;^)

Get the A/C fixed already!! Your resale value has dropped by the repair
amount!!

Hey,

Quick question.  Can I buy a shorter accessory belt for my '93 ATX and
totally bypass the A/C pulley?  I fear my compressor my be shot, but I
obviously don't want the pulley to seize, snapping the belt, leaving me
stranded with no PS, no alternator, etc.

Anybody have a part number, or just a length, that will work?

Thanks,
