AC Belt install - How long & How?

[winstontj]

It's dumb but when I hang my head over I can't seem to see how the effing AC compressor is adjusted. Is there a bolt on the bottom side? I see that the PS belt needs to come off first but how the hell do you loosten the AC compressor?

Thanks,
TJW

two bolts at the bottom of the a/c and then one at the top.
after those are out just yank down pretty hard

There is actually a trick to installing the ac compressor belt. Anyway you ajust the bracket for the compressor the belt will still be too short. You have have it halfway installed and then turn the crank over and it will snap into place. Its kind of like putting a chain on a bicycle.

Thanks I finally got it. It's a bastard to get in there with the lower cowls on! It's nice to have AC in a car finally!!!
