Icon2 ac compressor bypass pulley

does anyone know if there is an aftermarket bypass pulley for 08 Honda civic ex?
also is it possible to remove the ac compressor and just use a dx belt because the dx does not come with ac?

All you gotta do is measure out the length without the ac and head down to the parts store and have em find a belt that will fit.

Why are you trying to do this, instead of using the A/C compressor?

My guess is he's trying to save HP by not using the ac pulley.

Under full throttle, the A/C clutch disengages in favor of engine output. You will see no increase in engine power by deleting it. Since you will be installing a bypass pulley, the drag from the belt tension and bearing will persist, which makes installing a bypass pulley pointless at every level.

Put the compressor back on.
