Re: Popping Noise from A/C Compressor - Cut the Belt?

["Alexander van Gerbig" <Audi_80@email.msn.com>]

    My A/C hasn't worked in a while, and I haven't chnaged the belt since I
bought the car.  Needless to say the belt is very cracked, but makes no
noise.  I am not going to fix the A/C until next summer, so could I cut the
belt now without causing damage the compressor?
    Would the compressor freeze up during the winter?  Anyone?

Thanks!
