Removing Wrangler Air Conditioning

The non aircon TJs have a dummy pulley where the aircon sits; dunno if that would work if you could obtain one for your YJ.

Alan did pass the time by typing:

Replace it with an air compressor? :)

Are you sure on that? My non-AC TJ Sahara just runs a shorter belt - there's even two routing maps printed under the hood. The platform where the AC would sit is empty...

"> Replace it with an air compressor? :)

Or, if you are handy at wiring, a mains voltage alternator (as fitted to some boats).

Thanks for the help I think I can figure this out now.

Will try to take a pic tomorrow. Mine is RHD export ; dont know if that makes a difference.

Make a dummy bracket and install an idler pulley

Hey, if you get all the a/c stuff out without tearing anything up, I may have a use for it. Let me know, email addy is good.

Truly I havnt a clue. I remember reading about it being done a long time ago with a camper vehicle, but the details escape me. But just to prove they exist, a quick trawl found this (but I cringed at the price!)

You would want to have mains alternator power pretty badly to pay those prices. mind you, they are similar to some aircon comps.

Also, although not directly mains voltage, some interesting issues can be found here.

Food for thought.
