The guy at my local parts store says that I can just cut the belt and remove most of the AC system cuz the AC has a dedicated belt.

 

Well if the guy at the parts store says that's what you can do go ahead. Or get a second opinion or look yourself to see for sure what set up you have. One serpentine belt or individual belts. Either way you can still remove your a/c if you want to.

 

I can take a pic to show you guys tomorrow. I looked and it goes down to the crankshaft and to the waterpump, but its on its own indipendant pulley and by that I mean it doesnt run anything that I know of.... The other pulleys have their own belt.
