How do i bypass the A/C compressor?The clutch is stuck and the cheapest and fastest solution is to bypass the compressor, but i am not sure how. I haven't been able to find a diagram for it.

Hi,

The easiest and best way to do this is to just install a bypass pulley in place of the compressor. I attached a picture of one. You just need to search for one that fits your engine. This way you can leave everything in tact and don't have to try and find a belt that is sized properly.

Let me know if you have questions. Thanks

I was told that they don't make bypass pulleys for a 2007 Buick Terraza.

Okay. You may want to check yourself with a company called Dorman Products. If they don't offer one then the only other option is to find a belt that is made for your engine with no AC and install it or have a custom belt made which means you will need to measure the belt length less the AC.
