My a/c has not worked for 5 years in my 91 5.0. I only drive the car on some weekends so it never was important to me. I am getting the heater core changed and was going to have the a/c repaired as long as the compressor was ok. Well, the compressor is not ok. I do not want to pay $550 for a new one, it is not that important to me.

If i bypass the a/c compressor with the serpetine belt, will that affect the heater controls are function? How much power does it take out of the motor to turn the compressor?

if you don't want/need A/C... just remove it from tha car, and run a short belt... pick up a couple HP and lose some weight in tha process

It will not mess up the heater controls. It won't net you much HP but it will let you shed some weight.
