126048, No A/C

Anyone running no a/c but with powersteering? If so where did you get the belt? Autozone didn't have any and advanced auto was closed when I got there. A/C compressor decided to give out on me in beautiful sunny Orlando, Florida a.k.a. 90 degrees everyday oven, and I don't have the money to buy a new nor the patience of scavenging around junkyards for one. I can live without a/c just driving daily w/o powersteering is a bit of a pain especially when parking and doing u-turns. SO yeah just need a fir yes or no if they make belts for just powersteering for our cars.

Yes. Get a 40" belt. The power steering pump pivots to put tension on the belt.

Because you will probably want your a/c back before too long once you get the money, I would suggest simply not pressing the a/c button in your car. This will keep your clutch from engaging, or trying to, and then you will effectively have no a/c. At least this way you can leave your original belt hooked up and still have power steering.

I may still have a spare compressor in my garage, that you can have. I know it's a bit hike, but I'm in Tampa. Positive upshot is that if I have it, it will be free.
