My 1975 A/C unit (origionally installed by the dealer) just quit working because the drive belt broke. Could some one please tell me the correct part number so I can buy a new one.

I just went and searched my garage for my AC belt. I couldn't find it though, sorry.
The AC pulley is behind the cooling fan so changing it will will require removing the cooling fan and housing from the front of the engine. You might be able to get by with just taking off the cooling fan but I have never tried. |

Is removing the cooling fan and housing difficult? |

QUOTE(chcjr @ Sep 19 2008, 10:06 AM) Is removing the cooling fan and housing difficult? Yes or no depending on what you call difficult and your mechanical ability. my understanding of the a/c system in a 914 would require that the belt be looped over the fan (a/c pulley is on crank behind the fan) onto the a/c pulley then fed behind the fan housing to loop on the compressor pulley. not easy (at least it wouldn't be for me) working thru the engine compartment lid. i wonder if it would be easier/faster to drop the engine (incredible as it sounds) to replace the belt only for the convenience of access to the area, i don't think you have to remove the fan or fan housing. just loosen the compressor tension bolt/nuts, belt over cooling fan to a/c pulley, feed belt thru housing to compressor pulley, over pulley, tension belt with bolts/nut. surely the good Cap'n has done this and will contribute his answer. |
