I have a 1995 850 Turbo Wagon with 230K miles. The bearings are shot in my AC compressor. My AC has not worked for many years as I was told that I had multiple leaks in my system and that it would be $1400 to fix at the time. I don't want to buy a new / used compressor to simply act as a belt tensioner, which would be about $500 per my mechanic.

Are there any aftermarket alternatives for carrying the belt at the location of the AC compressor? Any other clever ideas? I know that in some cars a shortened belt can be used but I don't know if that if possible in this car.

Thanks
