BTW, since the A/C compressor is clutch driven, why not just disconnect the electrical connection at the A/C pump? That way you can still use the defrost, but not have to worry about your A/C pump being driven.
Easier said than done. I don't know where that is exactly located and I don't think it is something easily accessible.

Actually, moorecomp just told me!

Hopefully soon I can try that out.
