hi.i purchase a 82 trans am and the compressor belt is not installed.i was wondring if anyone have any diagram where ishould route the belt in the engine or a picture where i can see where is it routed.thanks in advance.

oh yah engine is v8 5.0.and its a 4 bbl carb.

I dont have much experience in the car and I need the A/C system.the compressor is not hook up with a belt.i dont know how this will work so pls any help is much appriciated.thanks

 

which compressor do you have?

 

the long one.i was thinking of replacing it with the 134a with clutch if i mention that correctly.the more smaller and flatter than the long one

 

ok. i would go to a salvage yard and get the necessary brackets to run a new harrison compressor.

 

ok.but do you know by any chance how does the belt go in compressor to the engine?

 

The belt goes around the fan power steering and a/c compressor .

 

@dan, hi thanks for your advice.I kinda wonder also if that is the case.but for some reason when i got this car,the last owner dont want the a/c...now the belt that is has right now is just an exact fit without getting routed to the compressor.so i figure that the compressor should have its separate belt...do i have to buy a new belt thats longer to fit it?can you provide me a diagram what should it be so i have a clue?pls let me know.thank you very much for your help

 

Can any one help?pls?

 

yeah 2 belts accually go around the power steering to the fan one is just ps to fan one is ps, fan, a/c.

 

I have the same problem, when the engine in my 84 T/A was swapped out they didn't reinstall the AC system, so the compressor is long gone. Since you're using the old v-belt/drivebelt setup from before they added serpentine belts, then a smaller belt will be used along with the larger one that goes to your water pump,crank, and alternator. At least, that's how mine is. My car has 2 belts at the moment, one for the power-steering by itself to the crank, then the water,Alt, crank is a different v-belt.

Hope these responses helped any.

EDIT: The only difference with mine is I have an electric fan, so my v-belt setup may be different from yours. Just a forewarning.

 

Its an old thread but will take a shot and describe my situation. I got another 82 T/A. I got a ac compressor harrison unit but not 113119 which went with LU5 put another one with id 1131198.
I had seen this part no to 82 corvettes and 82 firebird S/E.
Is there any other difference between these 2 models?
