I had to do that once, but it was on an older vehicle that AC was optional. Probably your best bet would be to see if you can wrap the belt on there, but bypass the AC pump. Then just mark the belt with a white marker to get the length you need. Take it to the parts store and have them measure it with their guide. They should be able to find you one that length. If a Rendezvous came without AC, you could just go in and ask for the belt for one without AC, but I don't think they did.

I need a serpentine belt diagram for a 1995 wrangler WITHOUT AC. I removed the AC compressor.

Without the compressor, don't you need to put a different pulley in its place in order to reuse your existing serpentine belt? I'd read what these guys have to say before going any further:

Is there any particular reason why you want to eliminate your compressor? If you don't turn on the air, the compressor freewheels, so why bother removing it?

Would a bad serpentine belt on my 2008 Mustang cause my heater to blow cold air sometimes

if the serpentine belt is original then have it changed as it is probably hard and not gripping properly
it is a reason that the ac compressor will not be at full efficiency , just like power steering not as good as it should be and alternator not charging properly
the inspection of the belt is in the grooved section and it shows minute cracks in the groove ribs then it is overdue for a change

[email protected] is the air conditioning

Here is a copy of the serpentine diagram for your car. If you look at the second diagram it shows the location of the air conditioning compressor. The compressor will have to be one of the wheels for the serpentine belt. Not sure which engine you have. Here are the diagrams. Hope this helps.

My a/c compressor in my 1998 mitsubishi eclipse in seizing up and sticking causing my engine to lose power and cut off in drive and idle

I would suggest that you have the A/C pump replaced. In the mean time you can remove the A/C belt, even if it's the entire serpentine belt and replace it with a shorter one to eliminate the A/C Compressor. If you go to your local parts store and ask for a belt for that model car they will ask if it has air conditioning or not, tell them that it does but you want the belt for the non air conditioned model and a mounting diagram. This will leave you with no air but in a short while the compressor is going to burn that belt off anyway.

Air con disconected

If the air compressor is bad... check the diagram under the hood for the serpentine belt. Most vehicles will have a diagram that displays the serpentine belt path along with a part number for a shorter belt to bypass the ac compressor. If you can't find the diagram, go to your local parts store and they should be able to help.
