i don't know of a site but u could buy a haynes repair manual for like $15 from ur local auto store i'm sure it's in there, the only thing u would have to check out how ur gonna compensate for that extra slack in the belt or somethin i'm not exactly sure of the hook up off the top of my dome but i can imagine u might have to add a tensioner pulley or sum shit like that

Remove the a/c compressor, or the bypass belt will interfere with the a/c pulley. I had to do this when I overhauled my a/c.

where did u get da shorter belt? do u really have to take out da ac compresor? i thot it wont hit da ac pulley? aite thanks for replying

i did it without taking out the compressor... you need to ask for a belt for an accord with out a/c and then go one size smaller or you will get some squelling and some pinging... the just bypass the a/c and make sure its tight... the tensionor and loosenor is the two bolts on the bottom of the alternatog... you have to lossen the lock bolt and loosen the tension bolt....

[johnm]

what u mean go one size smaller? so i buy da alternator belt for accords dat dont have ac its gonna work? its not gonna hit da compresor pulley or other shit? how much u paid for da alternator belt? aite thanks

It's simple,go to a parts store, ask for this part number belt.
K050375 ( Gates ). This is the belt that runs directly around the crankshaft and alternator pulley. Now, if you leave the a/c compressor on; the bypass belt will ride on the compressor pulley, leaving grooves. So, remove the a/c compressor, and just run the belt shown above :D
