Howdy,

I'm planning on pulling my compressor, condenser and lines--from the belt routing diagrams I find online it looks like all I'll need is a shorter non-A/C belt. Correct?

Thanks,
Geoff

Why run the pulley when you can use a shorter belt?

For one you can run the OEM specified belt for non-A/C models, instead of having to keep track of a custom sized belt. Secondly, using the pulley prevents too long of a span in the belt where the A/C pulley should've been.

On my van's belt routing diagram under the hood it show the optional route with no AC compressor. And I am always asked if the van has AC when I am ordering belts for them. So there is the optional belt already in Chrysler and the part store's POS system.

Accessory serpentine belt routing-3.9L, 5.2L and 5.9L gasoline engines. If you have a Magnum engine ...




If you look under the tiny hood, there is a sticker that shows the belt options ...

Good luck getting this belt. I have been trying to order this for a 1994 ram 5.9 and they one that shows up is LONGER than the belt used with AC.

If anyone has succeeded please share the part number.
