I wrote a blog about my experience with this here, https://championofcyrodiil.blogspot.com/2019/06/2005-ford-expedition-ac-compressor.html

I GOT IT!

HEY I FOUND THE WAY TO BYPASS THE compressor!! I went to Auto Zone and a real cocky guy who works there told me how to do it and said that if I couldnt do it he would do it for me. He told me just route it normal until you get to the compressor then bypass the compressor and wrap it around the idle pulley the opposite way and that should do it. I did what he told me and it worked perfectly!!! I didnt realize it was so easy to remove and replace the serpentine belt! Took me a total of 10 minutes if that much! Thanx for the help. I will take a pic today and put it up so I can show you. Now I can go to work to make the money to replace the compressor! lol

Thanx again

Once putting the belt on in that route that you described above my belt rubs on the alternator. Did any of y'all have this problem and if so what do I do to fix it
