better re phrase that, depends on what engine you have. you can leave the belt off as long as it only drives the compressor, if only 1 belt you may be able to source a smaller 1 to fit missing out compressor.

Hi
Its on a 2.9 12v so the belt only runs the aircon pump 
i was just worried it might upset something else in the electronics side of the car.
many thanks.

Adzs.
It seems to me that half of the 12 and 24valves in the land have the compressor belt missing.Twice I have bought cars like this,and the owners will say"ah I saw a little belt lying in the undertray,wondered what it was"or the aircon's working mate look the lights on".Then when you feel the compressor it's either seized up or the clutch has disintegrated,when pointed out,they shrug and say they don't know much about cars

Hi Gozz
my 12v had the belt on it but the pump just packed up and would not cut in anymore it just made a strange scraping sort of sound there is also alot of magnetic particals all over the back of the pumps pulley wheel 
(duff magnetic clutch maybe).
So just in case it suddenly siezed i pulled the belt off 
i dont use aircon much sunroof & windows will do for me
anyway
all the best

You can buy just the clutch from Koolcar.com I believe.
