You can get the diagram from most any auto parts store, or the website for Gates belts and hoses. There should also be a sticker on the hood or radiator support that shows the diagram.
Register for free at www.autozone.com Once registered you can access repair and shop manuals which give detailed instructions (with diagrams) for replacing the belt.
If the belt will clear the AC pulley, just get a shorter belt. I have not worked on your model. Please dont kill me if I am wrong on this ... I have done similar to what you want on other vehicles with success ... though of course, no AC!
Get the replacement belt, and then note the pulleys that have smooth finish, and note the pulleys that have the grooved finish.
Just 'thread' the serpentine belt, one pulley after another alternating between the smooth and grooved until the last remaining pulley is the tensioner pulley.
Use the breaker bar to allow the pulley to accept the belt, and you're done.
Use a 3/8" socket end to rotate the tensioner counter clockwise. It may seem stiff, but that's a good thing... you want the tension to be there. After it's off the tensioner the belt will pretty much just come out of place and off the other pulleys. ***make sure you orientate the belt as it was originally (ac or w/ ac)...diagram should be on the front shroud.
