Can I bypass the ac???

So my ac clutch is making some noise. I really dont have the money to have it fixed right now. Is there a belt size/part number that would allow for a bypass of the ac compressor? Really dont need ac right now and would like to make the noise stop until i can afford to have it fixed

You can bypass the a/c compressor and drive the car without any problems. You have to get a belt that is 920 mm (about 36.25 inches) long. I don't know of a Nissan part number for this belt, so check with you local auto parts store.

See page 10 in this link for how to route the belt.

I found a ton of threads (5 pages worth) by searching for "bypass ac compressor"...
