1996 4 Door F22 - A/C Bypass Belt?
Bought the car two months ago as a beater for $500. Belt always squeaked a little on startup, didn't think too much of it. Got it home, didn't start it for a few weeks. Just jumped it, belt is screaming and caught on fire because the compressor is frozen. Don't want to go to a shop and get the refrigerant sucked out of it and pay for all that, its going to be winter anyways. I'm just looking to see if anyone knows the size of a smaller belt that can bypass it completely for the time being.

Also keep in mind the power steering belt is separate.

Try unplugging the electrical connector to the compressor. The pulley should spin freely without the clutch being energized.
As mentioned previously, you may be able to get a smaller belt as long as the compressor pulley is not in the way. You should be able to remove the compressor pulley without having to discharge the a/c system.

Didn't even think of that. There is a few. I'll order one from there and see how it goes.

You can even check locally for a belt; for example, the Rockauto info. link to the Bando belt show some cross interchangeable belt numbers (which can be googled) under the Bando number. The belt length is shown in the link too.
