air conditioning compressor
Hi all,
84 sovereign 4.2l petrol efi.
Does anyone know if the compressor belt can be removed and left off?
Obviously, it can, I mean, as mine is out of gas and I assume has been for some time, I'd like to at least disconnect the belt or preferably, remove the compressor completely. And leave it off.
I know on some vehicles, the compressor even when not running can chew up 5-10 odd kW, and more when running.
I usually don't bother with air con anyway, but it's getting cooler here now anyway. If I get it working again, I'd likely want a new compressor, but that is months away if at all.
