My AC pump is gone (Seized) does anyone know if i can fit a non AC belt to the alternator to get the car moving?

I can’t help much in the way of what belt you need, but yes you can do an air con delete and get a shorter belt. Give google a bash.

Yeah i dont want to delete AC i just want to be able to move the car to get a new compressor fitted. All the threads ive seen talk about AC delete removing the pump etc, i think the pump has to come out even with a shorter belt, can anyone confirm this?

Must say this is very odd as the compressor has a shaft that is designed to shear if the internals seize, so it should have absolutely no bearing on whether the car starts or not.

I thought the air con pulley should freewheel even if the pump is seized as it uses a magnetic clutch to engage the pump.  :thinking:
