That's the main drawback to a single drive belt setup as I see it.
Be careful removing the ac lines on the rear evaporator. After some years they tend to weld themselves to the evap. Aluminum so. I had to replace the rear evap on my old Burb because of those lines. It wasn't particularly expensive though.

This is on that 4.8 motor, so the compressor is down low near the frame instead of perched up top like on the 5.7 Vortec's. I haven't messed with AC too much but most of this job is documented OK on youtube. The only thing I haven't found yet is replacement of the rear expansion valve. I need a vid or exploded view or something to start with there. So yeah, won't be much motorcycle play this weekend.
