I did a bit of searching but didn't see what I was looking for.

I have the AC compressor off the car right now. I'm thinking of leaving it off temporarily and using the non AC serpentine belt.

My question is, what to do with the AC lines to the compressor? Do I cap them off? Remove them altogether?

Also, is this a much bigger job than just throwing on a smaller belt and moving lines aside? What all else needs to be done so that I don't F something up? Does evap need to be taken out or disconnected?

Any help appreciated. Thanks...
 
What car is this on? 4 or 6?? 4 can just be bypassed no problem running the Non-ac belt (beawre the routing is different) i can't speak personally on the V6 but I have heard it can be bypassed no problem.
 
If you plan on putting the a.c. back into the car I'd cap and wire tie it up.

Slap on a non ac belt and be done with it.
 
ok thanks, what I was hoping. Yeah this is for svt. compressor will go back on at some point soon.
