By Passing Air Con?

[craigturbo02]

I run a 1991 964,i never use my Air Con and just lately started making a squealing noise.My question is , is there any way of taking the Air Con belt off and then locking the Alternator pulley and the fan pulley,therefore just using the fan belt as the drive.Alternatively is there a kit i could purchase to do the same job.Would really appretiate any thoughts on this and any links if anyone knows of a kit. Thanks

RS Pulley Kit. Uses a single pulley to drive the fan and alt. Alt runs a little slower which might be an issue if you have lots of electronics on at idle, but otherwise works great:

Thanks Guys tried the Razor Blade Alternator does'nt work,since posting yesterday contacted Patrick Motorsport hopefully they do a Top Pulley Lock Up Unit.Soon as they get back to me i will post .

The a/c belt ONLY drives the compressor. Removing it (the belt that is) will have no impact on anything but the compressor. The two remaining belts drive the alternator and fan separately - unless you invest in the RS belt kit that Don linked to.

Well pleased to report problem solved,only issue i had was Nut removal from the Alternator shaft.With a lot of help from the guys at Specialistcars of Malton required some heat.Made an adapter plate at home all works ok.
