I have a 87 4runner with a 22 re and today i had to remove the belt around the ac compressor because it had frozen up and i need to get home. The only other things it goes around are the tensioner and the main pulley. My AC is and has been broken for quite a while and i have no plan to fix it due to lack of funds. My question is do i need to fix this or will it be ok if i just dont run a belt there.
Thanks in advance,
Jonathan

 

well I know on my 91 with AC that the AC belt routing is separate from any other accessories and only goes around the crank, AC compressor, and a tentioner pulley

that being said, yeah just leave the belt off and you're good to go!

 

aighty. thank you very much for your help

 

Yeah no belt and your good to go. You might even get a little power increase! ha
