Dash Air not working should I disconnect belts from compressor ?

[Bob Lawrence]

I removed the belts first, then threw out the a/c compressor, then
threw out the condenser on the roof. All told, threw out 60 lbs. Didn't
make a diff. on mileage. Still get a little under 6mpg.
Run gen set and front roof air, and shut off back half of coach while
traveling. Keeps us very cool.
