A friend of mine has a 2001 Accord with the f23a1. He's wanting to take out his AC and we were wondering what belt we would need afterwards.

Thanks!

 

I used to have a 97 lx and for certain reasons I had to run it with no AC compressor. I used an Accord DX belt. I've never seen an Accord DX before but they didn't come with AC and were probably only sold in areas with nice weather and AC isn't necessary. Given the similarities between the f23 and the f22 I would imagine they use the same belt and would work for you.

Its also possible to get an AC delete kit that puts a pulley in place of the ac compressor, but that's just more work. I've seen it on the oreilleys auto parts website.

 

Thanks man! We'll give that a try.

 

just take a string, wrap around your crank, alternator, & power steering then take your old belt & string to the parts store. they should be able to match the length of the string & old belt for the ribs. thats what i did

 

berings went out in my compressor and destroyed it. so i called advanced and they have a/c delete belts. works perfect
