3.0 flex AC Bypass

[fullgrown]

My AC compressor and pulley on my 2000 3.0 Flex Fuel are shot and squealing like a farm full of stuck pigs. I don't need the AC (only drive it to the gym or archery club down the road) and I don't want to spend up to $160 for a new compressor. Looking on Ebay really quick I saw some AC bypass pulley's for 3.0 flex taurus motors for $25.00.

Is this the same motor that is in the ranger?

If not where can I get one?

Do I need a different belt?

Are they typically a bolt on?

Thanks for the help.

You should be able to just get a new belt that excludes the compressor.

Yeah just get the belt for a truck without A/C
