The compressor is going out. it looks like it will freeze up soon therefore taking out the belt. My question is: I can't spend the 1200 for a replacement compressor, therefore isn't there a way to just remove the compressor all together and put a new belt on or maybe a pully of some sort?
Thank you very much,

Howard
