98 honda accord ac compressor failing?
About 5 days ago my ac compressor starting to make noise, I'm still getting cold air for now, I don't care if I fix it because it's only for air, but is the belt only connected to the ac compressor and nothin else like the alternator? And I really don't want to spend the money to fix it, so can I let it seize up and go on driving or what's the best plan?
Opening the hood and looking around would be a big help in determining what all is connected to that belt. If you want to bypass it, you'll need to take measurements around the pulleys you want to run and get a belt to fit.
The belt runs around the alternator and the compressor, can I just take out a fuse or disconnect it some how.
The AC compressor can only make noise either at the clutch bearing or internally. If it's about to fall apart internally, all you have to do is disconnect the electrical plug for the clutch or remove the fuse or the clutch relay. That's the relay in the under hood fuse/relay box with the Snow flake imprinted on the top.
If the clutch pulley bearing, it an easy job and the bearing is cheap. Why not replacing it? If you choose not to replace then you'll have to find a belt to fit and drive the alternator. So find a small rope and fit around the crank pulley and to the alternator, cut to fit and the auto part store can find you a belt that fit.

- How much should I pay to replace the AC compressor on a 2010 Honda Odyssey? The air conditioning on my wife's minivan recently went out. I had her take it to a mechanic expecting a refill situations costing less than $100. When they got back to us they said the clutch would not engage on the AC and it required replacement costing over 1100 dollars. I've seen the part online for $250 to 450. How much is reasonable to pay for this repair? Would I be better off buying the part online and having someone else install it? I'm told the job is about 3 hours.
