Can this serpentine multi-v belt be connected to only the alternator and A/C compressor?

Hi,

The belt routes around the alternator and compressor. However, it needs to go around the crankshaft pulley to turn and the idler pulley.

Take a look below at the pic. I'm not exactly sure what you want to bypass. The crankshaft can't be bypassed, and the idler is needed for tension. Let me know the specifics.

Take care,

Joe
