Does anyone know the size of the belt to use if you want to bypass the compressor??? I am going to get a compressor locally but i was going to wait untill i did some other repairs first. This compressor is too nosiey to drive with. But i wanted to take care of some other problems on the car first. Thanks for any info.

You can't simply use a shorter belt and skip the AC compressor. You would need to remove the compressor and install a bypass pulley.

Is it just the clutch that'* making noise? Does it go quite when you turn it on? If so, you may just need to adjust the clutch.
