I need a belt mfg and # to reroute my a/c compressor belt the compressor locked up I'm going to college and will fix it when funds are better. I have 28 plus years experience as a mechanic. The nearest parts house is three miles from my house I'm tired of riding my bicycle there for nothing they dont offer a bypass pulley and I dont want to remove the compressor and leave the system open. It looks like if I crank the tensioner almost all the way back it will have about 1/2 to 1 inch of clearence between the pulleys

Good news! There are bypass pulleys sold for your very car on am-autoparts. Com for $41.90 with free shipping, provided that your car doesn't have a supercharger (which I don't think any of the "95's do, I have a 95 crossover, which is actually titled a 95 and has 96 parts :)
Anyway, we had the same problem with my car, and finally got the money for my husband to get the parts to put the compressor on, hope this helps you, there are also bypass pulleys for supercharged engines if you happened to have one. Good luck! C. Graham, Missouri
