When I lost the AC on my '96 855R I actually got a non AC shorter serpentine belt
from IPD. This belt came with a new routing diagram.

This belt and routing is used in cold countries.

I ran the car like this for 8 months before I traded it in - I got a call from Isabel's new owner and he told me that the AC was fine. Not using the compressor for 8 months did not damage it enough to stop it from working.

I am quite sire that the used car lot did not put a great deal of money into this 17 year old car.

BT - the guy that bought the 855R lived on Nantucket Island - where the maximum speed is 35 MPH!
