hey, my name is charlie i have an '05 scion tc 5-speed and yesterday my ac compressor pulley broke and is now like 20 degrees off center and completely locked up and the belt has obviously quit turning, so is there anyway to bypass the a/c compressor so i don't have to pay almost $500 for a new one plus the labor since i never used it anyway i really wouldn't miss is. any help will be greatly appreciated.

Just buy a reman one or find one in a salvage yard??

 

i have one for sale

 

look on ebay its your friend, it not hard to swap and you could fill it your self

 

you may be able to buy a shorter serpentine belt and route it without the compressor.
