Here is a crazy idea........How about fixing the comressor? Since it is locked up, is it the compressor or just the clutch?
If the compressor locked up, then disaengage the clutch and the compressor will no longer turn.
If the clutch is locked up, then your a/c is on all of the time, so this should be a little problem.
Exactly where are you having the trouble? Clutch compressor or both?

in ok i'm sure the air will be needed, if you have an old belt put it around the pullus you need, cut it to length, then take it to a belt store and have them match the length, the width and depth arte the same as the origina

leo you said it before me the only way to get around the belt is to do that because if it is not in the computer then they dont know how to get you a belt that will fit LOL at least around here that's how the parts stores are.
