I know I can get a belt that will work for this truck without A/C, but if I remove the A/C will it throw a code? What happened is the compressor is bad and I don't need/want to replace it, so I figured I would just yank it and scrap the parts, but I don't want to do that if the computer will throw a code. Any ideas?

 

I yanked mine , everything lines condenser and all . Filled the left over lines with silicone and installed the shorter belt . No Codes .

 

I did this on a different vehicle and i didnt get any codes... just look for a sensor on it but im like 85% sure you wont get any codes

 

Sounds like I've got a project soon. I doubt this would add much horsepower, but would it add any? I assume it might add a few since it's less parasitic drag on the motor. (since my clutch is sticky too)

 

NAPA 25070901 ) for a Belt to Bypass the Ac Compressor . This is the one that worked for me .

 

any diffrence ? i was thinking of removing mine also havnt freashed up my ac in 4 year. hasnt worked

 

You won't gain any power. You will lose some weight though. Not that your truck will really notice........

 

its funny my ac dont work and i wish it did so badly, but when i had my 05 neon which blew ice cold air, i never used it! mostly because my mileage would drop and you could feel the little 2.0 motor struggleing, man i miss 30+mpgs... lol

 

I would leave the whole mess in there you never know when you may sell the truck or decide you want ac and removing all that stuff will make both options more fun. Besides for the pennies you might save on gas you wont make up the cost and bother of going through taking out the AC system. If you doo plan on doing it I would wait tell you decide to do a tune up or atleast replace the belt no need to toss a good belt out just yet.

 

It'll be June and you'll wish you had it. Fix the compressor, and get it working. Who knows, maybe you'll love being cool.
