The air conditioning system in my car is 22 years old, it still works fine in the summer but the a/c compressor's pulley makes a subtle noise. It's like an unlubricated bearing sound when the compressor is not engaged/free spinning, when I turn on the defrost or a/c the noise from the pulley is more noticeable. Like I said it still puts out cold air and works alright and I am grateful for that but I would like the car to be a little more quiet under the hood, however, working on the air condition system kinda scares me. So I was wondering if I can remove the a/c drive belt for the winter time? Then hook it back up in the summer when I need it. What are the ramifications of doing this? Is there a fuse or connection I should remove as well? Has anyone done this? Would it save gas? I beleive the defrost setting uses air conditioning to help unfog the windows in the winter, but cars without a/c manage somehow, right? Thanks!
