Ok like quite a few on here my a/c compressor seized up on me, and burned the clutch up completly. Well I don't have the $250 at the moment to get a new or remaned one, so I decided to do it the old "duct tape and bailing twine" way. After about 45 minutes in the Auto Zone parking lot swapping belt after belt we finally found one that fits w/o a/c. For those of you that are going to ask I simply skipped it in the belt routing:
Sorry it's a little fuzzy, but you get the gist. As you can see the red line is the new route. Everything turns how it is supposed to, and the tensioner is right where it was with the stock belt. No vibration or bouncing of the belt at all. Here is the part number for future referance for anyone who would like it:
Duralast 835K6
By the way this was done on my '96 5.0 if you couldn't guess.
