I saw this one celica for sale and its claiming to have a "frozen" AC compressor.
due to the 'freezing' the alternator belt keeps breaking off, she says if i replace the ac compressor and belt, i can drive it back home. but i dont want to : a. buy a car and find out that there was something else wrong b. buy a AC compressor just to test it. i was thinking of connecting the camshaft pulley directly to the alternator so the battery charges and i can actually test drive it can i do this WITHOUT taking the compressor out? how what 'size' belt should i get to make this work the car starts on jump start but obviously i cant test drive it. im pretty sure people who remove ac compressor to save weight do it this way so i know its possible. just need size. is a 5s auto if ur wondeing -------------------- For Sale:OEM tail lights - make offer

put a good battery in the car, preferably jump start it as well. you have a short (red top: 55min) time to drive to car without any accessories on (fan, lights, radio, etc)
better yet, take a friend, and swap batteries between the two cars when the voltage drops 1v below what it was when you first started it. so you always have power & not too much stress on other guys alt. or you can take a string, wrap around where the belt would be with just the alt, and take that to an auto store place to buy proper size belt. theyre 5 rib iirc. -------------------- QUOTE "And, as always, your friendship, help, and dedication to the advancement of Texas Celica dominance is GREATLY appreciated.

When you mean the belt breaks off you mean the belt slips off the pully or it actually breaks/snaps apart ?? Their are places that sell 5sfe belts w/o AC I can't remember which store I think it's autozone call your local auto stores to find out.
