I have a '99 GTP. I would like to by pass the air conditioning compressor with out having to take every thing out and putting in a substitute pulley. Does any one know of a shorter belt length that I should use to by pass the compressor and if this would work period? Would this have any negative impact on my any thing else driven by this belt?

i think that the pully's for the s/c would be in the way

the ONLY way to bypass the AC pulley is to take it off and get a ac delete pulley, that pulley is free spining and puts no extra load on the car.

Thanks for the replies. Looks as if I have my work cut out for me.

So is your AC compressor shot? Reason I ask: when the AC comp is not running, it shouldn't really be putting load on the engine (clutch driven).

Mechguy; I'm not sure if the ac compressor is shot but I can see the pulley wiggle a bit and the noise (rattle) from it is crazy. Have been told I can have the pulley itself replaced if the compressor is still good. I am just trying to weigh my options being I have never replaced a pulley or the a compressor myself. Guess it is time to learn. Thank you for your interest.

Yeah, to be honest I haven't touched my AC compressor, but I think they have a low-profile, replaceable bearing. Also, the clutch may be shot.
Hopefully somebody else has some more insight.

gonna give it a couple days to see what other responses I get. If nothing then will start project. Will be sure to post results here.

i removed my a/c ...i now regret it seeing as when it rains and is humid outside and the windows fog there isn't jack i can do about it, my 02 cents check into bearing replacement, or just get a different compressor, i still have mine i think, and if you need one you can have it worked just fine when i took it off last summer
