1993 Ac Delete Kit Or Serpentine Belt?

[CHARLES MAJOR]

I Have A 1993 Explorer With A Bad AC Compressor Clutch. The AC Does Not Work Anyway And I Do Not Wish To Repair It. Is There A Shorter Serpantine Belt That I Can Use To Bypass The Compressor Clutch? If Not, Do You Know Of A Kit That Eliminates The Compressor And Places A Pulley In Its Place So A Stock Serpantine Belt Will Work?

What you could do - if the belt won't hit the ac compressor (i.e. rub) you could take a piece of string and route it with bypassing the compressor and then either measureing it to figure out what kind of belt you need or take to the local parts store and find belts that are close to that. I do not know of any "delete kits" though.

On a side note, you have an SUV which is "suppose" to have A/C in peoples eyes, but people now who build these $100,000+ race/muscle cars (old chevelles, mustangs) want all these big engines and stuff, yet still retrofit a a/c system on it. Horrible (just me venting, sorry)

Anyway, good luck!

Thanks for your quick reply. The old Explorer is about shot (over 300,000 mi) and I just wanted to do something cheap to get my son back on the road. The tranny is on the way out and the power steering pump is going soon. Just wanted to try and get a few more months out of it so as to save a little cash to get something else. Thanks Again

Yeah, just get the belt for non AC explorers. Any parts store should stock it.

Do what I did..unplug the compressor.
