Is there a way to bypass the A/C compressor? I don't have the money to replace compressor.

There are two ways to achieve this. First you can get a bypass pulley which installs in place of the compressor and then you just route the belt as normal.

The other, is to use some string and route it around the pulleys but not the AC compressor and this will give you the length of the belt. Then you need to order a belt that is that size or slightly smaller.
