If it has multiple belts, remove the belt which goes to the compressor. If it has a serpentine belt, reroute the belt so it bypasses the compressor.


Where is the air compressor located on a 1997 Ford Taurus?

It does not have an Air Compressor. If you are talking about the A/C Compressor, then just look at the drive belts. One of these belts is driving the compressor. If it has one serpentine belt, it is driving the A/C compressor, PS pump, Alternator, & Water Pump. Just follow the belt to find it.


In a 1999 GMC Sierra what is the smaller belt that is not fan belt that is under the engine and can you drive with this broken 25 miles to a shop?

If you will check, the smaller of the two belts is a belt that only connects your Harmonic Balancer to the Air Conditioner Compressor to turn the Compressor Clutch when you turn the AC on. If you'll notice, I bet that 25 miles to the shop was a little hotter than normal wasn't it?

AC compressor is broken on 1997 sunfire do you need to repair it if you don't want air?

Nothing if the compressor bearings are good. Just unplug the wires at the compressor or pull the fuse. If the compressor is locked up or the bearings are shot, then you need to purchase a belt for a 1997 Pontiac Sunfire that came from the factory without A/C. Install the belt, bypassing the compressor, and just leave the compressor alone.


Why is your car smoking by the belts and your air not working?

Sounds like one of your AirConditioner Belts is bad. The compressor for the AC is usually powered by a belt. The belt can be loose or damaged and as a result it is slipping. On my 1973 Plymouth, I had a belt work through one of the idler Pulleys and split it open but yet the belt was still in tact. I knew something was wrong when the AC quite working.
