Can I take my A/C unit off the engine without it messing any thing up? And if so how do I re route or go about the belt issue....

you can use the bypass pulley off the grand chero's on the 97' n newer xj's, just have to modify the bracket a bit

I have a 90 and found a bypass pulley in a junkyard off an 88 for $10.00. It did take a couple of weeks and a few junk yards but they are out there. One from an 88 to 90 will fit. The mounting bolt pattern changed in 91 for the HO motor.

What about the 4 cylinder? If you could find a 4 cylinder without a/c would that pulley work or are they totally different?
