Q: I want to eliminate the ac compressor what do I do and how to do it
what belt to use can I leave the compressor mounted and what to do with the tensioner
My car has 220000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
Depending on the vehicle you have, you may be able to get an A/C eliminator kit from an auto parts store or online. This kit is designed to allow you to eliminate the A/C and sometimes use the same belt. Otherwise, you may just have to get a good A/C compressor pulley, keep everything the same, and just not activate the A/C compressor.
