How do I remove my AC belt? I spent all day trying to get it off and I couldnt figure out what needs to come off to allow me to get to the belt.
I have a 302 with efi. 1986 LTD CV.
thanks

1: loosen the alternator bolts and remove the alternator/power steering/water pump belt
2: reach up and under the ac compressor and loosen the ac belt tensioner bolt
3: loosen the front ac belt tensioner bolt and remove the belt
if you dont want the belt there and you just want to remove it, and not install another, cut the belt lol

if my A/C is dead anyway, is there any advantage/disadvantage to removing that belt until I get it R132'd?

Maybe in that it'd be impossible to run the compressor unlubricated ... though granted, the low-pressure switch should shut it down anyway, so killing the compressor shouldn't be a big concern.2012 Mazda5 Touring | Finally working on the LTD again!

could it still be creating any drag on the engine?

No drag on the engine if the compressor pulley is freewheeling. Do you have any freon left in your A/C system? Either way just unplug the low-pressure switch, that should disable the clutch and force the pulley to freewheel, then you'll be just fine.Comment

Tiny amount of drag from the friction of the bearings in the pulley, and from the smog pump. Not enough to ever notice, and not enough to be worth removing the belt for. We're probably talking a tenth of a horsepower here.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

Not really, that goes for the smog pump too. It should be freewheeling like everyone else said.Originally posted by johnunit View PostComment
