AC Compressor

i was wondering if i were to take out my ac compressor and get a smaller belt will this mess anything up? or should i go and get a pully to replace the AC? ive herd that if you dont replace the AC compressor with a pully and keep the belt the same it will mess up the motor...is this true or no?

You will be fine.

If you remove the air pump then you need to replace the belt with a yoohoo belt or get a double alternator pulley.

no, the AC has it's own belt. you can just remove it and it'll be fine.

if you take out the air pump then you will need to get a dual alternator pulley or the water pump pulley will slip.

Same thing, you only need to worry if you remove the air pump.

If you remove the Air Pump you need a double alternator pully.

If you remove the AC Compresser you do not need to worry about anything else.

If you remove the Power Steering Pump you do not need to worry about anything else.

If you remove the Water Pump your call will overheat, don't do it.

If you remove the alternator you better have a massive battery.

If you remove the main pulley nothing will work.

If your A/C compressor is actually working, remember to spin it once in a while so it doesn't seize eventually.
