Look fer it!Please Check this out first ---- Unplug the clutch control 1 or 2 wire plug on the front of the compressor and maybe you can keep on trucking with no further modifications needed. The clutch causes a magnetic physical connection to the compressor when it is told to do so by the AC switches or computer circuits sending 12 volts out to make the clutch operate. If the compressor has siezed up and the AC is cut off there would be no problem - but - the defrost position can cut the compressor on also. Try this fix. woody

Just wanted to add this: Part number 34166 ($40) is a replacement pulley that mounts in the place of the compressor

Why is your ac compressor smoking when ac is on?

The Air conditioning compressor is likely seized. There is a clutch in the pulley that engages the compressor when the A/C is turned on. You can easily check the compressor (with engine off make sure the pulley has had time to cool off as it will be very hot) Try to turn the most center part of the pulley. If you cannot turn it by hand the compressor is seized. The smoke was MOST likely from the serpentine belt rubbing on the seized pulley when the A/C compressor was engaged. Please note that the same belt drives the power steering pump. This belt will be destroyed from the heat and must be replaced to prevent a possible steering failure.

The short answer is "NO." They do not sell shortened belts. To fix the problem, you can do two things. Remove the a/c clutch with a puller and install a new one (a real pain!). Or, replace the a/c compressor.
