You can also remove the a/c compressor and install a bypass pulley in its place. You can still use the standard belt this way, just run it to the bypass pulley instead of the a/c compressor. RockAuto has them at the link.

SOURCE: need to bypass ac compressor on a1997 chevy lumina 3.1l

I doubt anyone knows that off the top of their head. You could run a string through the path you want the belt to take and measure how much string it takes. This will give you an approximate length for the belt -- most parts stores could find one close to that size.

When you go to the Auto parts store and get the part. Tell them you don't have AC and install that belt by passing the AC pulley.

2008 Chevy Impala. Trying to bypass the A/C compressor a 08 Impala.

You just remove the AC compressor and replace it with an AC Bypass Pulley. The belt and routing remains the same.

Bypass ac compressor with shorter serpentine belt 2001-02 Mercury Sable LS

Because in most cases the routing will not work without the pulley for the compressor being in use. That's why some engines have a dummy pulley available to use in place of the compressor.
Not using the compressor pulley can cause the belt to drive a pulley the wrong direction, or not have the grooved side of the belt on a pulley.

Ac compressor going out on 2000 chevy impala. can you bypass w a smaller size serpentine belt?

don't believe there is a way if it's a 3.8. However ,just replacing the bearing on the compressor in not a big job,even if the compressor is bad the pulley will still spin.If the compressor itself is bad just unplug it.

On a 2001 saab 93 turbo can can you bypass the ac compressor or is there a bypass pulley

You can bypass both the AC compressor and the middle serpentine idler pulley with a 6PK1790. The middle pulley is bypassed by running the belt straight line from the upper rear serpentine idler straight to the power steering pulley, then over the water pump (the smooth pulley powered by the back side of the belt) and down to the engine drive pulley (harmonic balancer), bypassing the AC compressor) This works fine. On 9.5 models, the same basic idea, but a slightly different sized belt.
