Hello,

The A/C compressor will not work if there is not a belt turning the compressor clutch.

Generally speaking, the pulley configurations are different for with A/C and without A/C. However, this H2 did not have an option to not have A/C. All of these came with A/C from the factory.
Also, this vehicle's A/C operates with a dedicated belt, and it is independent of the larger accessory belt.
So, whether the A/C compressor has a belt or not it will not affect the other belt.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
