Oh by the way. That by pass pully takes the place of your ac compressor so you can use the factory size belts. Hope this helps.

Damn I made a mistake. You said condenser. Did you really mean compressor? As far as the condenser goes the answer is yes just take lines off of it and un bolt it from the frame of truck. Ac will not work but I figure it's not working any way.

You can run your S10 without a condenser but you won't have air conditioning. You can leave your A/C compressor mounted on the engine instead of purchasing the pulley bypass kit. Compressor will not seize up because there is no refrigerant with condenser removed and low pressure safety switch prevents the compressor clutch from engaging.

Your welcome. Recap. Condenser -- just unhook it and drive. Compressor -- remove compressor and get a by pass pully so your regular belt will work.
