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.

take your time and make sure the belt grooves are seated in every pulley or u will never get it on, there is a belt run diagram under the hook.
SOURCE: 1998 Chrysler Town Country 3.8L Does it Have Timing Belt Or Chain
your engine does have a timing chain, these are very durable, there is no set maintenence interval for them. you can tell how much chain slack you have by gabbing your crankshaft pulley with both hands and rotating it back and forth to feel the chain tightening, it should be a minimul amount of rotation. you should get well over 200k mi. of service without worry. i hope this answers your questions, or at least sets your mind at ease.

SOURCE: how to change serpentine belt
There is a youtube video that shows how to change the serpentine belt/tensioner/idler, but on my 2005, the tensioner looks OEM and doe snot have a squared off end to easily use a wrench to turn.
I think I have a sepentine tool (flat with square 3/8's drive) I can use to turn the tensioner.
