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.
