AC Compressor by pass

I have an '01 with a bad AC compressor. I don't use the AC, Can the compressor be by passed?

What's "bad" about it? If the hub and bearing are ok let it ride.

Thanks for the response. Bearings are bad, I believe. Growling sound w/slight wobble of pulley.

I think you can. Just get a belt for a non A/C truck and follow the proper belt routing.

I have replaced just the bearing in the clutch. You will need a press to do it.

You pay shipping I have like six compressors under my bench. They are used (front seal slight leaks was the replacement reason), but the clutch assy's are ok. PM me.
