2000 Dakota question

I can't get a straight answer from anyone.
On a 6 cylinder is is possible to bypass the AC compressor pump with a serpentine belt for a non AC model?
My compressor is crapping out and I need a quick fix until I can get it fixed.
Will it have any adverse effect if I do?

It may work. But the compressor may be in the way of the belt. Another option is get a AC bypass pulley. This is the one for magnum engines. http://www.autozone.com/autozone/cat...archText=34178

Just so you know the heater system uses the AC to dry the air. This makes defogging your windows much faster.

should be able to do it, my buddy has a v6 and didnt have an AC, but then he added the compressor and didnt put a belt on it for awhile untill he got more parts
