who has put an ac belt on
 
how did you guys get it on without removing these bolts?

am I doing it al wrong or something
never done it before got under there and starting lookin at things, how the tensioner is used to tighten the belt up but how do you get it to loop around tha mount?

I'm assuming that if it has to loop around there then you have to pull those bolts, unless you are a magician. I've never done it either, just my .02

could be electrical.. or if its the compressor, u'll need to evacuate the r34.. so ya, might as well take it to a real mechanic

if the clutch isnt engaging you either have too much refrigirant or too little

You more than likely need a recharge, and possibly fix a leak.

Re: who has put an ac belt on
 
oh damn yall clowned me on that one lol I didnt get it recharged yet,

I just wanted to see if it was engaging
so it wont engage if there is no refrigerant int here

wonder how it knows that

dont bash me too hard i was unaware!

On most cars it will engage without refrigerant.

Most cars have a low pressure switch in the system that doesn't allow the clutch to engage below a certain pressure on the low side.

Just like everyone else has said, when the low pressure switch see's that there isnt enough pressure in the system it will not kick the compressor on. You need to take it somewhere and have it dye tested to find out where your leak is at in the system and then have that fixed and then recharge the system with 134a. Or if you just want some ac for the summer just charge it up and hope its a small enough leak to last until its cooler out. BTW..you dont have to support the engine at all if you pull that lower mount off, the others should support it well enough.
