More excitement from Frau Blukar. Just as I am reveling in finally getting the rear mainseal replaced and having a non leaking brick, the AC took a dump last night.

Not sure if its the clutch or compressor itself, but things are not spinning. Given the time of year, I would just do without, but the power steering is driven off the AC compressor. She is drivable, but slow speed turning takes some effort.

Has anyone tried to bypass that setup with a belt running around the water pump, crank pully, and power steering pump? That would leave a single belt driving the alternator. Did it work? If so, can someone tell me the belt size?

We are right at 295K and I am determined to get 300K, if not more. Its running great and, aside from being ugly, might last a while yet.
