I wouldn't because you need the defrost to work while in Rain with windows up or in the winter. Good luck with finding measurement for mini-van. Not many people void them.
you may omit the compressor with a shorter belt of you can find one. just make sure the rest of the pulleys are working especially the water pump and power steering.
I don't think you can troubleshoot the system without a shop manual to get the wiring diagrams. You have at least two pressure switches, plus a relay and the controller, not to mention the body computer involved in the main circuit. All of the components would need to be tested with a meter.
It very well could be the tensioner if it does not sit straight, or the idler pulley if the bearings have gone out, but usually 99% of the time it is the power steering pulley that is pulling out from the power steering pump, and that is usually what is causing the belt to mis-align especially at the waterpump pulley, check the alignment of that pulley very well.
Call the auto parts store and tell them you are doing that.
They can look it up on their computor with ac or without ac, and get the right belt.
Some vehilces don't have a listing for no ac and can't be bypassed.
FOR A 1.9L ENGINE. CANT SEND PIC, START BY PUTTING BELT OVER ALTERNATOR PULLY,THEN TO THE RIGHT OF POWER STEERING PUMP PULLY FROM THERE TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE IDLER PULLY , THEN UNDER THE A/C COMPR PULLY AND UNDER THE CRANK PULLY RELEASE TENSION ON TENSIONER BELT GOS UNDER TENSIONER.
Yes, you can as long as the pulley diagram is the same for the engines with no AC. There will most likely be a diagram on the front of the engine or in your owners manual showing the belt diagram for both cars with AC and without AC. Just make sure to buy a different belt that will fit it now. Hope this helps. Good luck!
