hi
I got a 1994 gmc Safari. I was wondering what all was entailed in putting on a ac bypass pulley b/c my compressor is locked up?

Re: ac removal
You can buy the A/C delete pulley from different sources. Do a search on here for any threads pertaining to it. I know astrozam did the conversion on his 95 Astro.

If your sure there is no longer any refrigerant in the system then you can...
When I did mine i no longer had my rad shrouds on,so i'm not sure how much (if at all) difficult this will be if you still have yours on.
Remove Doghouse (engine cover)
remove serpentine belt
disconnect the the fittings on both sides of the Accumulator ( silver can)
disconnect hose assembly from back of compressor,then remove alltogether.
remove and disconnect all brackets from compressor (on my 95 there were 3)
you will also have to temporarily remove the oil dipstick tube from the rocker cover because its part of the A.C bracketry
cut the black hose that runs between the compressor and the condensor (condensor sits in front of your rad ,grill side)
install the A.C delete pulley
re-install the serp belt
re-install the oil filler dipstick tube
probably take around 2-3hrs start to finish.
They are known as a.c delete pulleys or a.c bypass pulleys here's what they look like,although this place is currently out of stock

Re: ac removal
I finally got around too this(2 months later). It wasn't very hard at all. I just didn't want to go out into the cold. But now I am wondering If there is anyhting else i have to do (such as take out a fuse.)
Re: ac removal
so the bypass pulley that is listed up to 94 will work on the 95? there is no listing for the 95's, so many many parts places have told me.

Re: ac removal
I got a bypass pulley from Advanced Auto Parts for my 95. It seems that the 95 is slightly different then the previous years and the years after. search online and you'll find them.
