Removing AC pulley
So I've got a 95' F-150 w/ 300 engine - the A/C has been nice and cold right along. A few days ago the A/C pulley started chattering and you could smell it burning up so I shut it off and limped along with this worsening rattle. I bought a shorter belt to bypass the A/C but it's pulley protrudes into the path of the shorter belt just a bit - can I remove the pulley from the compressor or does the whole unit need to be removed? I took the clutch off but I can't see what else holds the pulley to compressor. Any info is much appreciated.

Look close. There is a snap ring around the compressor snout to hold the pulley in place. Remove the snap ring and the pulley will slide off with a little help from a screwdriver.
If you need to remove the clutch coil, just pry it off with a big screwdriver working from side to side.
