2000 XJ sport
i have what i believe is an AC compressor with failing bearings. the compressor makes a horrible grumbling sound, even when not engaged. before this it used to squeal loudly when turned on. since i dont have time to mess with it now, and i don't mind not having AC until i can fix it, i was wondering if i could just remove the belt to the compressor and drive with it disconnected?
