I want to bypass my AC on a 4.3 Chevy motor. I do not want to remove the compressor as I plan on repairing it later. What pulley do I need to put on the engine below the compressor ?? With that pulley in place will the AC Compressor interfere with the belt ?

google 2003 ford focus se 2.0 dohc ac bypass pulley for answer. you will replace ac compressor with this item $40.00-50.00

The correct way to do this is to replace the AC Compressor with a bypass pulley. That way the belt and the routing is the same.

That's not the way you do it, you remove the AC Compressor and fit a Bypass Pulley in its place. The belt and routing remain the same.

That is not the way to fix it. You remove the AC Pump and install a bypass pulley. It keeps the same belt, route and tension.

Can I bypass the AC compressor pulley with a shorter belt?

Yes, this is possible. However, unless it was the AC compressor clutch and pulley which failed, bypassing the AC pulley is unnecessary. Simply disconnect the wire to the AC compressor clutch and that should do the trick.

Very difficult job to remove the AC compressor there is no option for bypassing you would have to use a stand-alone pulley or put another compressor in there if the compressor is locked up and you don't want to repair the AC you can always buy a cheap rebuilt unit just to put in there and act as a pulley and not repair the system the stand alone probably cost almost as much as the compressor if you buy a rebuilt

There is no belt to bypass the AC cataloged, when the AC is not ordered on the car (AC delete) or the compressor is removed for some reason then you must use what is called an AC delete pulley, it bolts in place of the AC compressor and you use the same belt. The pulley is cheap and either the dealer or most good auto parts stores like NAPA (or others) can order it for you, in the aftermarket the pulley's are made by a company called DORMAN
