Hi,
Most cars using a single serpentine drive belt will not accept any other belt. Usually you will have to replace the compressor or buy an aftermarket pulley unit to replace the pulley where the compressor is located. A smaller belt wont route correctly without rubbing on other components.

What you are looking for is called an 'air conditioner compressor bypass pulley'. Most chain auto parts stores have them in stock.
All you do is install the bypass pulley and use a shorter belt.
The only downside is the cost of $25-$40. That's about one-third the cost of a remanufactured unit and the labor is compatible.
All the best
