Moin, Moin,
On my 1993 3.8 Pontiac Trans Sport the compressor clutch is gone.
It really does not sound very well. So for security reasons, I do not want to drive it, but it is my only car with a towhook.
Spares take to long from States to Germany.
Is there a chance to bypass the belt? (There is a sticker under the hood)
And how can I figure out wich belt I need to bypass?
Thanks in advance!

Re: Bypass the AC Compressor
I put a shorter belt on my wife's 93 Bonneville to bypass the compressor a long time ago. Let me see if I can find the length. Should just be one one belt, no?

Re: Bypass the AC Compressor
Moin, Moin,
Thats it.
The link helped with the part no of the belt.
Converted to the system outside of america:
it is a 6PK1845 that works. 1845mm is 72.63 inch
But a 73.25 schould be ok, too. The extesioner has a huge range
Thanks a lot
