Ok so i got a dry noise coming from my AC area. I think its the AC compressor or the AC clutch. Any other Ideas on how i can get rid of this noise problem, i don't use my ac so can i just simply take it out without harming the whole belt system that goes by the ac?
Thanks in advance.

im not sure what the noise is, might be the compressor going out. does the ac still work? if you want to remove it properly, its best to have a pro do it. there are alot of parts to be taken out. and then you just need a new belt size that will fit on and bypass the ac that used to be there.

Thanks Gear, The AC doesn't work, i talked to a mechanic and said that the clutch on the AC is bad so doesn't engage, i rather just take it off, Would anyone know of a good belt size, or someone taken their AC out before? i just hate the noise.
just have it removed at a shop, be sure and tell them to remove all the components and it totals to around 50 lbs so your car will feel lighter too. they will know how to seal the system and everything so nothing happens down the road. and they should be able to replace the new belt too. its just a matter of measuring the size with a piece of string and calling auto store to get the proper size. or actually use the belt for a DX that doesnt come with ac.

Thanks Gear, i think im just going to take it out along with all the hoses and stuff,i never use it, i found a thread where one guy did it, doesnt say much but im going to have my mechanic help me out as well. By the way you got some stock extra parts like a heater control nob and the e-brake cover?
those are generally not things people switch out, so if you want to find those i would say your best bet is to go to the for sale section and try to find someone that is parting out a whole car and ask if they have that stuff.
sorry i dont have parts anymore, if you really wanna complete the no-ac look, you can get the dx button for the a/c which is just a black plastic piece without any writing.

No porblem Gear, i dont think ill take it that far as to replace the button, but i found a guy parting out a civic, im going to go take a look at what he has and take it from there.
OK so i didnt pull everything out, i just got a shorter belt, Size that worked was a K6-340, the AC is really messed up tho, prob will replace in the future but not a big deal right now. Car sounds good and no more noise. I also did a tune up Changed the spark plugs and air filter, i just got the car a week ago and its a 2002 and still had the original dezo plugs..dam with 160k. doing oil change tomorrow and putting on new headlights. Thanks to all for the info on the AC.
