1978 300D AC belts missing

Test drove the subject vehicle today. Looking into the engine compartment, noticed the AC belt or belts were missing. Owner says, previous owner removed them during the winter and never replaced them.

In my quest to own an 300D, just about every 300D/240D I have checked into - the AC is inoperative. Why is this just about always the case? Why are the belts missing... Is this an expensive repair or just a recharge?

Thanks again.

1984 330D New Monarks

Hi all at Mercedessource and forum. I put the Monark injectors in "Old Yella today. The instructions were great as usual and every thing went smooth. I had one minor disappointment and one question and would like a little advice on both. First the disappointment: You know how you get a little diesel fuel around the pre-chamber and the wells that the injectors sit in as you expell the air from the hard lines with the nuts cracked a 1/4 to a 1/2 turn? Okay, well I did everything to a tee. I torqued all the injectors at 59 ft/lbs.
