I have a 96 Countour GL 2.0L DOHC.Last week I started to hear an almost grinding sound coming from the area of the power steering pump,a/c area. I cleaned and replaced the p.s fluid. Noise was still there. Took it to a mechanic who said my compressor clutch needed to be looked at/replaced. I dont use my a/c anyway. Im going to replace my serp belt but am wondering if i can get the smaller belt that doesnt have the a/c acc and bypass the compressor?" Today on my way home I smelled smoke and on arrival at home I was smoking really bad. Popped the hood and smoke was coming off my compressor. Need help! sorry this post is so long.



Yes, they make two differet belts one for cars with A/C amd for cars without it.
