Default Sorry, stupid question here.

Know this is going to probably be one of the stupidest questions ever but here goes; '94 GC 5.2L v8. The bearing on the ac compressor seized up so as per advice from here I unplugged it. But it sqeals so bad it's driving me nuts. What do I have to do to bypass that pulley. I know it can be done cause theres a little sticker showing how the belt path can go. Do I have to get a different belt?

Yes you need a belt for a non ac jeep.

Yep, either a smaller belt made for your model that didn't have A/C installed or you can remove the compressor and install a bypass pulley in it's place.
