Can you replace your drive belt on Chevy caprice without the ac compressor?
Yes, you can replace the drive belt on a Chevy Caprice without removing the AC compressor. The serpentine belt on these cars often routes *around* the AC compressor, not necessarily through it. However, it will be tighter and potentially more difficult to maneuver the belt onto the pulleys without the compressor in the way. You'll likely need a belt tensioner tool to relieve tension and get the belt on and off properly, regardless of the AC compressor's presence.
