931 A/C compressor seems bent inwards towards the firewall (I can upload a photo is that's helpful). And looking at it, it seems like part of the cause is the rubber bushings that mount the compressor to the bracket seem very worn out.

I'm worried that the AC belt will have too much wear since it will be pulled at an angle.

Some options that I'm considering:
1. remove the AC compressor. I don't mind not having A/C. I don't want to get under the dash to FULLY remove it, but at least the comressor and accessible lines in the engine bay. If that ends up happening, I can just run the main serpentine belt from the oil pump -> alternator -> water pump by themselves right? Like it's a separate belt on the 2.0 to connect the oil pump and the A/C unit right?

2. find new bushings
Looking online, I don't see anything other than used brackets with stock rubber bushings. Anyone know of a source for just the mounting bushings that get pressed into the bracket?

I bought these bushings from Automotive Atlanta, pricey but cheaper than having them fabbed up. Einmalig may have them too.
