Alternator Belt

[donswan]

Has anyone removed the A/C, and if so do you know what size belt is needed to make it work right without the squealing.

Thanks
Don

There are 3 belts on there.Ps,alternator,and a/c. Any parts store can hook you up.You know which one is squealing?

I wanna remove my A/C and get the shorter belt needed that size

Well, What year is the car? Like I said there should be 3 belts. One for the alt,one for the ps,one for the ac.If your removing the ac belt it doesn't interfere with the other 2.

There are only two accessory belts on a 2gt. There is a third belt, but it's the timing belt, and it doesn't drive anything but the cams, water and oil pumps, and balance shafts.

OP: I'd search around for "A/C elimination". I don't know anything about it, but I know a buttload of cars have done it. I forget what else is on that belt, but a quick look under the hood or in a Haynes/Chilton manual would answer that.

You're right. I like the new smily. Very fitting in this case.

The A/C has it's own dedicated belt, you just remove that belt and nothing else will be affected. Also, here's a link on removing the entire A/C system on a 2g.

well to remove your ac you dont really need any new belts, all it is would removing the a/c(disconnecting the belt, removing clips and if you want to take the compressor off depressurize the system take lines off and compressor too)and thats it...
if your belts are sqealing then maybe there is something on the pulley making them slip or there misaligned...or you just have worn belts

Squealing belts could also mean they have stretched ( especially if they are recently new ) and need to be readjusted.

OR your harmonic balancer (crank pulley) might be damaged/separating.
