The kid's 86 244 has a siezed AC compressor and clutch. I am abandoning the AC due to expense and lack of need. With the 86 model you can't use IPD's bypass kit due to a different pulley and you can't go to one belt on the alternator and drive the power steering pump off the middle crankshaft pulley due to interference issues.

I tried to find a 240 without AC and get the idler pulley setup off that, but none are to be found. My best option seems to be to get a good AC clutch assembly off a car at the junkyard and unplug the AC so it doesnn't try to engage. My manual is no help on how to get the clutch off with the AC compressor installed.

So far, I have the clutch retainig bolt off and the outer part of the clutch off. It now appears there is retaining spring clip that needs to come out but I ran out of time and daylight and must continue tomorrow. That's good for me since I get the half cast off my left hand tomorrow and will be up to a hand-and-three quarters from a hand-and-a-quarter. That extra half a hand should come in handy.

Any other things holding this together that I should know about or any tricks to make it easier?
