If your thinkin of getting a diffrent belt do you mean ur not putting it around the a/c pump?
Wots wrong with ur a/c ?
It is recomended that a/c is used once a week for more then 30 min.

yeah apparently you can use a belt and tensioner from a different corsa which by-passes the aircon pump? the garage that looked at my aircon said i need a new condenser and a full aircon service which amounts to just shy of £650! so there is no way im fixing it for that kind of money.

just use the normal belt, the condensor wont run anyway if the A/C is off or has no gas, as the clutch wont engage unless everything is ok
