The a/c compressor does not work and I think the pulley was not spinning and snapped two belts.
Yes you can buy a bypass pulley at your local parts store or online. It looks like Dorman makes one and its part number 34166. This part number shows to be compatible with your 2003 Taurus.
Usually not, but you can disconnect the electrical plug from the compressor and that will keep it from engaging so it will run free all the time.
