Found out i need new AC compressor on my Accent. Just had Catalytic converter replaced and some other minor repairs so not looking to spend another $1k....not to mention the excessive oil that the car is burning.

Is it possible to bypass the compressor? I had that done in another car years ago but it was a different make/model. Looking for some kind of specs and size serpentine belt I would need.

Thanks for the help.
 
Usually you can just buy a new drive belt, but specify "non A/C" and that should just fit on. Works on my 2007 Tucson and I don't see why it wouldn't work for you. Unless they didn't make a non A/C model that year) Basically, you just need a compatible belt of the right length. You can drive quite a way without that belt but you won't have power steering and you won't be charging the battery. In a emergency you just turn off all the extra electrical that you can.
