Dorman Products makes a special bracket & idler pulley assembly for most popular American vehicles like yours. It is installed so that you can remove a seized A/C compressor. Check with your local auto parts stores to see if Dorman has this for your vehicle. It's called an Air Conditioning Compressor Delete Kit. See

shysters... they also should have a compressor delete pulley so you dont have to use a shorter belt. did the compressor seize up or the compressor clutch bearing seize up ??? two different parts and repairs... they're trying to sell you a complete ac job when a new clutch will probably fix your problem... or if you're a gambling man, you might even change the bearing in the clutch assy yourself :-)

find another honest shop and let them know you're not happy for them lying to you and you will report them to the BBB

oh, I've had multiple gm vehicles in the same body class with the same drive train... I do know what I am typing... being an ASE tech helps as well :-)

did you remove the air compressor ,and if you did you need to put something in its place for the belt tensioner will not hold tension . it will be easier to just replace the air condition pump or best known as the air compressor with a used one . this is my link to my garagehttps://www.facebook.com/TedsRepairs

If you need the air conditioning you will probably have to replace the compressor.

If you dont need it you can just disconnect the connector on the compressor and leave it there to support the new belt..

you will have to replace the ac compressor with an idler pully and you should be able to use same belt

This is what you are looking for. You can use your old belt. rockauto.com

No, but you do have to take the fan and shroud off. then you pull the compressor loose and pull forward.

1. Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
2. Remove the splash guard on the right side of the vehicle.
3. Loosen the alternator belt idler pulley.
4. Slip the drive belt off the alternator pulley.
5. Remove the four air conditioning compressor mounting bolts.
6. Remove the radiator fan and fan shroud.
7. Move the air conditioning compressor forward.
8. Disconnect the alternator harness connector.

I would suggest that you have the A/C pump replaced. In the mean time you can remove the A/C belt, even if it's the entire serpentine belt and replace it with a shorter one to eliminate the A/C Compressor. If you go to your local parts store and ask for a belt for that model car they will ask if it has air conditioning or not, tell them that it does but you want the belt for the non air conditioned model and a mounting diagram. This will leave you with no air but in a short while the compressor is going to burn that belt off anyway.

No it does not. Then they gave you the wrong one. Go back to them and get it straightened out.

You cant tieghten it up ,it has to be replaced or removed,the ring is part of the compresser clutch ,if you eliminate your a/c,just get a serpentine belt the same year car as yours but without air,but im pretty sure all corvettes have a/c could be wrong but i have had eight vets myself actually i have 87 now but ,what will happen is the compresser itself will eventually seize then you have bigger problems have you priced a clutch for your compresser,i dont think there all that exspensive,you dont have to change whole compresser ,Hope this helps
