    find out which belt it is, then loosen the corresponing accessory's adjustment bolt, adjust to the point that you can put the belt back on, then re-adjust the accessory to where it's supposed to be, and you should be good. basically, if its the alt. belt, adjust the alt to the piont where you can get the belt back on, then tighten it back up.

    If the belt just slipped off out of no-where, it is probably worn out. If I was you, I would invest in a new freakin belt so that doesn't happen again! Adjust the tension with the alternator.

    ahh yes..., i forgot to mention that too. check your belts while you're at it. if they're worn, replace them.

    make sure its not your water pump. If its your water pump belt, get that replaced ASAP.

    You're fucking hilarious, you know that?

    The compressor for the a/c only engages if and when your turn the a/c inside your car. If your a/c doesn't work in the first place, then pushing the button inside your car does nothing anyway.

    I removed the ENTIRE a/c system on my '88, and it doesn't really do anything, except rid you of dead weight.

    Fucking chill son.

    Check it, in all honesty, I noticed no power increase after removing my entire a/c system. It didn't work when I got the car, so I don't know how bad power loss was with it.

    Well you know we tried to help you but you just kept asking the same stuff and stuff that if you searched for you wouldn't need to post a thread about how you know someone that is going to remove your a/c system for $50. You won't see a power gain from it anyways. If it didn't work you might just want to fix it. And yes that has been discussed as well.

    i think fixing it will cost more money than removing it but it would be nice to fix it...

    hillarious thread

    With that $50 bucks your paying some dude to take that a/c off, you could throw in another $50 bucks and buy a new one off ebay. Re-built a/c at auto parts store runs about $350.

    A/C isn't worth it, open the windows.
    I like the added space and it makes it easier to replace belts.

    Accordadict...
    From reading your posts I would say it's good you'r letting the mechanic change the part... maybe later you can do the job yourself and save some money.

    Really, with the price of gas, a/c isn't worth it. I don't see the price of crude oil going down anytime soon! (maybe close to election day)
    I took my a/c off, cause it is shot, but will get a new one when summer comes around next year. Hopefully the gas prices are a little cheaper! Yeah, right.
    Anyhow, he is all into power and weight reduction, so he won't miss a/c!

    i don't use my a/c, unless i'm cruising on the freeway. it's kinda funny though. i don't like cruising on the freeway with my windows down, yet i hit freeway speeds a lot around town and my windows are down... maybe it's cuz i go faster than freeway speeds on the freeway...
