What size belt do I need to bypass Mercury Sable AC Compressor

I have a 2000 Mercury Sable LS Sedan with a 24V 3.0L Duratech engine. My AC Compressor went out and I need to know please if there is a bypass serpentine belt and what size it would need to be. I am aware of the dummy pulley, it is not what I need though. Is it possible to put a shorter belt on this engine? Thanks :)

I had to do the same thing on my Toyota Avalon. I used a flexible cloth measuring tape to measure around the pulleys (minus the A/C, of course). I had to cut the pulley off the Avalon A/C compressor because of interference issues. You may or may not have to do the same.

I doubt anyone knows that off the top of their head. You could run a string through the path you want the belt to take and measure how much string it takes. This will give you an approximate length for the belt -- most parts stores could find one close to that size.

Talk to your automotive supply. My understanding is that a Non-AC belt will run right thru the area where the AC pulley is. You can get a bypass pulley that will allow you to avoid the AC and it's pulley and a specific belt for that setup.

A/c compressor seized up?

Start saving your money; A/C work is going to cost you about 1300 USD. You can bypass the compressor pulley if you want to. You will need to get a different belt though

I need to find out what size serpentine belt to get to bypass ac compressor for 2005 mercury sable v6

I believe they may make a different idler bracket to compensate for the change. You need a certain belt length for the Alternator and water pump to work properly at a given engine rpm. If you change the belt length, the alternator and water pump will turn either slower or faster than designed.

What size belt do I need to bypass the ac compressor on a 2001 mercury sable

Many times you just order the belt for a vehicle WITH OUT AIR CONDITIONING, hope it does not contact other components in it's path.

Bypass ac compressor with shorter serpentine belt 2001-02 Mercury Sable LS

Because in most cases the routing will not work without the pulley for the compressor being in use. That's why some engines have a dummy pulley available to use in place of the compressor.
Not using the compressor pulley can cause the belt to drive a pulley the wrong direction, or not have the grooved side of the belt on a pulley.

Can a belt be purchased to by-pass the air conditioning pump in a 2000 mercury sable? the pump is bad and I don't want to use the AC anyhow.

no they did not use a different belt, there is a bypass pulley where the AC pump sets now, just order the AC delete
pulley, not very expensive, u will need to remove the old pump. You can also go to the link to buy the pulley you need.
