Dash Air not working should I disconnect belts from compressor ?

[Pete Masterson]

Sorry ... I didn't see the subject line. AC compressor belts are no problem. Probably won't have any measurable impact on fuel economy, since the pulley 'free wheels' when the AC is off. Make sure that the belts aren't connected with the fan. (My coach has a hydraulic-driven fan-- no belts.)

Yup. remove the Air Conditioning compressor belts. No need for ware on them if the AC is not working.

I think he is talking about the coach air compressor by the thread heading. If the compressor is not frozen it just idle along.

If you disconnect the compressor, how do you plan to stop the coach?

Not really wanting to fix at this time I was wondering if removing the

belts that are on the compressor in the engine pt-40 1985 would help

on fuel economy or not?
