Missing belt!

Buddy saw this when I was checking oil today! Hoping its just an AC belt. Added a picture of new silverstar ultra bulbs.

Also please don't laugh at her rough shape. She has 246,000 on her, and the odometer doesn't work anymore. She was mint condition, before Bambi decided to play chicken. Just don't have the money to replace good and quarter panel. I love this car to the top of my heart though.

Yeah that's the AC belt. Did someone work on your car recently? The alternator belt looks new so I'm thinking the person who worked on it either didn't put the belt AND the pulley or forgot to tighten the bolt for the AC belt pulley and came off because that's also missing.

Thank you so much! No I haven't had any work done on it. I did all the deer repairs my self. So the car hasn't been touched since over a year ago. I am thankful very much! I can live without AC in Montana(: just had a mini heart attack. Woooo!

i'm going to assume the compressor is done and instead of swapping it they took the belt off.

Looks like they also removed the belt tensioner.

whats the extra clamp on the top rad hose about?the shiny one,also it looks like its a parts store hose and iirc they're sometimes made to fit multiple vehicles and can be trimmed a little to stop the bends and kinks

When I high the deer, the radiator got pushed back about 4 inches into the bay. The hose got kinked, it drove home just fine w/o overheating. When we brought the radiator back forward, we attached the clamp to keep it from kinking.
