Removing A/C belt
So I don't use my a/c but in the dead of.summer when the girl is with me.in the car. And now spring here in Oklahoma is slowly creeping up on us, I have been wondering, could I remove my A/C belt without problems
I'm not really looking for a.gain so to speak but is there a difference with and without the belt?

Also my understanding is it takes less than 1 HP to turn the pulley when the a/c isn't on. I took mine out cause its not a DD and if it's really hot out, I'll drive my other car.

I recommend leaving it on. My A/C belt broke a year ago and last week I put a new one on and my compressor sounded like a blender that someone threw a handful of marbles into. I still get cold air but it is not worth the sound.

When you turn your defrost on (which I would imagine you do use in the winter) it automatically cuts on the compressor. All newer cars are like this because they realized that seals and compressors were going bad in the spring because noone was using their AC in the winter.
