Since my AC is broken and whining (and Im pretty broke) I am looking for a solution to bypass the compressor. I was reading up on some sites and have seen/heard of ppl using a different belt on 3800 engines to bypass the pulley altogether. They just said that thay bought belts for engines without the AC option. However when i look at Autozone, it doenst give the option to not have AC so I assume all 3800 engines in 2001 MCs came standard with AC. Does anyone know of a belt i could buy to do this technique? Are all 3800 series 2 engines the same and I could just look for a different car's belt like a buick?

TIA

If that link doesn't work, because for some reason zzp hasn't been when I link it.

Go to zzperformance.com click on grand prix and in the search field type "Ac Delete"

 

Yeah I was looking at those before somewhere and it seems probably the best option. I was kinda hoping to not have to remove the compressor right now as I have little time to do so.
