This will take a little trial and error but if you get a belt for your car without AC it should be the right size. here is a routing diagram so you can see how it works and a guide to step by step change it:

I have a bad air conditioner compressor. I cannot afford a new compressor and would like to by-pass with a new serpentine belt. The A/C is mounted low by crankshaft. Is there a belt that I can get to bypass the A/C pump?

Hey BARRY,

You can do this if there is room but you must make sure that other accessories do not get spun the wrong direction. For the size of the belt you will need to do a trail and error to the auto supply store.

Please let us know happens so it will help others.

I got a belt for bypassing a/c compressor car ran great for 2 months but mounting bolt broke holding compressor do I need a larger size belt

Hello,

I would say maybe without seeing it. Usually a serpentine belt measurements break down like this. The first two numbers are how many ribs the belt has, The other four numbers are the length of the belt. So if your belt was a K061130 and you are worried about it snapping mounting bolts then you might consider getting a K061140 belt. I hope this helps.

Thanks,
Alex
