Busted A/C unit?

I was pulling the Camaro out this morning and noticed oil on the ground where the car was parked. After popping the hood, I see the the lower belt is completely off the car with a few strings of it left around the pulley. There is oil everywhere and I am assuming it is freon oil from the A/C compressor.

I bought the Camaro two months ago and she has 2300 miles on her...crazy. I am at the dealer right now trying to confirm the issue.

Does anyone know if my custom map would cause this to happen? The clutches in the AC is regulated by the computer.

If I am putting out more horses and the Software for the computer is engaging the clutches in the AC at a different rate, could it be burned up that way?

Can Ted adjust the AC setting?

Ok, it was repaired. I left all the MODs on and even the JRE tune. They replaced the AC compressor and the belt.
