I am sorry to tell you on this engine you cannot bypass the A/C compressor, please look at the diagrams below to see what I am talking about. The belt will contact the balancer and not work. Here is a generic guide to help you step by step with instructions in the diagrams below to show you how on your car:

You can get a replacement A/C compressor from Amazon for $139.00.

This is not the super charged grand prix. This is the 2005 pontiac grand prix GT.
