air compressor A/C 89 GTA Problem

I have a 5.7 GTA and my air conditioning is blowing cold air but the compressor is not moving, it burned my belt off (The belt wouldn't move so the engine turning burned it). I want to know what i can do, there are no bad fuses so thats ruled out, and i am at a loss of what to do.

If the compressor is not turning then the AC is not working. You get cold air becaseu it is cold out. The vent & blend doors are working.

Sounds like your comp is siezed. Evac, new comp, new orafice tube, drier tank, convert to R134.

The compressor spins freely when the clutches are not engaged, but when they engage thats when it siezes up? Sounds Like you could use a new compressor if thats what your saying.

I don't know how much they cost new, but I'm sure someone on TGO or such has a working one they will let go for cheap, and you can convert to R134a.

OR .............. go the other way and put this part number ( 10055890 )into www.gmpartsdirect.com

yea, but the problem WAS that the compressor didn't move causing my serpentine belt to stop and burn off. But that was my second solution:wink:
