Default dummy pulley for AC Pump

Does anybody make a bolt in dummy pulley for the 97+ cherokee so I can take out my A/C Pump? And no I dont want to make it into an on board air pump. I just want to get rid of the thing.

Thats awesome I seriously didn't think they would have these but that's great!!!!!! My a/c has never worked properly since I got the Jeep 4 yrs ago so I decided to scrap it and lose some weight and a lil space in the engine bay.

Did you get it from O'reillys online or in store? Also did you pay as much as 1aauto is charging?

You're not supposed to just let it out anyway. You have to take it somewhere to get it discharged.

so if your ac compressor is shot but you still have freon in the system, you have to get it drained before you can disconnect the compressor right?
also are there any good ways to seal off the system just in case you wanted to get a new ac compressor somewhere down the line(better than just slapping tape all over the pipes)?

yes, legally you need to have it removed in a controlled way.

you could just shove a rubber plug into the lines
