A/c compressor

2000Mustang · August 25th, 2008, 08:32 PM

So, the a/c compressor is going out of my car. Im seriously broke as a mofo, so what do you guys think about me pulling the compressor out and putting in the pulley that imitates the the a/c compressor pulley? My compressor hasnt gone out yet, but it makes a noise, and the pulley is loose. Anyone done this? Any opinions?

Do you use your a/c

whitemustang02 · August 25th, 2008, 09:54 PM

i did it, the only real benefit is a little wight reduction and maybe freeing up 1-2hp

and just so you know the pulley is around 70 dollars.

and if you do decide to do it i am working on a right up on how to, from when i did it. i should have that done by the end of next weekend.

dude, if it just makes nois and the pulley seems loose, it just may be only the clutch... the elim. kit probably costs about the same....

Ok, im not wanting performance gain, i wanna save myself $150 lol. i use my a/c, but i wont in like a month

2000Mustang · August 25th, 2008, 10:27 PM

check auto zone for a reman...and you probally get a core charge back so...

itschristorres8 · August 26th, 2008, 12:04 AM

when the a/c isnt on its basically an idler pulley thats why theres no hp gain

i think it cost about $40 for the delete im not 100% sure

thatdavidkid · August 26th, 2008, 12:06 AM

yes but if he can get the clutch for $75 or something like that... then what's the harm in fixing the a/c?

itschristorres8 · August 26th, 2008, 12:32 AM

oh i didnt read fully
its easy to check
with the car off see if you can move the middle of the pulley. not the actual pulley

next with the car on have some one turn the a/c on. if the middle doesnt spin either the clutch, compressor, or switch is bad or theres a poor connection
