99 Bonneville SE Cannot turn A/C compressor pulley by hand
When I turn the ignition, the engine tries to turn over but won't. Everything has power. No security issue. A/C compressor will not kick on and cannot turn A/C compressor pulley by hand. Would that prevent the engine from starting? If so, do I need to replace the pulley or whole compressor? Any advice would be helpful.

Undo the belt tensioner and let the serpentine belt slide off. Then attempt to start it.

What Mike said above ^^^^^^
Whether it is the compressor pulley bearing or the whole compressor, if the pulley won't turn the starter probably won't be able to overcome it.

Me thinks she would have to get the A/C bypass pulley. I don't think a shorter belt will work.
