Compressor is locked up and I was told you could bypass the AC compressor with a shorter serpentine belt and changing idler pulley. Is this possible on this type vehicle and if not does somebody make a bypass pulley to replace the AC compressor. Thank you for any information you can provide is truly appreciated.

Did you ever figure this out on your grand am? I'm going through the same issue. Every "bypass pulley" says it doesn't fit my vehicle. I can't seem to find any other information on. There has to be another way, besides having to replace the compressor??
