I had a compressor go on my 99, lots of racket, grinding them finally a bit of smoke. Anyway I did find that the NAPA 6pk2082 was a suitable sized belt to bypass the compressor.

It will still spin the compressor pulley some because it doesn’t fully clear but worked for the short time it was on. It allowed me to drive without further damage and heat in the cabin. That, rust and other issues helped me decide to sell the old lady.
