Ac compressor seized

[Christopher thomas]

Car would not start as ac cog was seized, I removed the belt and got car Home, my question is this if I buy a belt from the same yr as my Ford Focus 1.6 tdci zetec which will fit by passing the ac cog which is at the bottom and it won’t interfere 

 my question is this does the ac compressor do any other job other than ac if I use a smaller belt and not use the ac compressor at all will it cause over heating or any other damage to our much hated slow arss diesel Ford Focus please

No, the a/c compressor pulley has no other function. Normally the compressor does not turn anyway as there is a clutch on the pulley, only engaged when a/c is on.

Though it does sound like, secretly, you want it to damage the poor car.
