A/C Compressor locked up

Does anyone know where I can get the bracket and pulley that will repalce my a/c compressor? I did some searching with no luck. Seems to me I saw it advertised or talked about here. I was told that they only make one belt for this engine ('94 7.3 non turbo) so you need this pulley where the compressor goes.Thanks in advance for any help.Bill

Find the same rib # and width belt in a shorter one if that will delete the A/C.... trial and error.

I did a little more searching and found that people refer to the pulley as a A/C delete pulley or bypass pulley. I called Napa and they siad they could order me one for 49.00 Then I started calling dealers. One said they could order me one for 38.00 I found one dealer about 30 miles away that had it in stock for 43.00. Funny thing is they said that they would have to order the serpenteen belt??? Anyway I went and picked it up and installed it in about 10 minutes and was back on the road. For those who go this route in the future you will need shorter bolts as the ones that hold the compressor in place are too long.

I did not end up getting a new belt as they did not have it in stock. I put the old belt back on for now. I will pick one up either at NAPA or a dealer closer to where I live.
