if you got mildew inside your car, it could smell bad though
if its such a pain in the *** to take your blower belt off, you can just cut off the a/c belt and put a new one on this spring lol. it might also free up a little horsepower
w/ no freon in the system, it will NEVER kick on, no matter what position you put the switch in because of the low pressure switch. the "low side" is everything after the evaporator(inside the car) all the way up to the compressor. the system flows from the firewall, to the accumulator, to the compressor, to the condenser, to the firewall, to the evaporator, out of the firewall, and back into the accumulator.
the "high side" is the port after the condenser, we normally pull a vacuum from both sides at work.
