SmashedGlass Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 My '88 is equipped with the (currently non-working) Hitachi a/c compressor that is mounted outboard of the alternator, and the bearings in it are starting to develop a minor squeal. Is there a good way of bypassing the compressor until I can afford to repair/replace the a/c system? Short of removing the comp and rigging some belts?

Turbone Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Remove the belt, then take a measurement without the a/c for a new belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l75eya Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Remove the belt, then take a measurement without the a/c for a new belt. +1 I'm thinking about removing my A/C altogether as well. What a waste of space, power, and weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Actually, I just re-installed the a/c in my RX. Being a black car it needs it, plus power isnt a issue any more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
