Good day,

I am looking to bypass the A/C compressor on W203 c230k "kompressor" (super charger). Is there a serpentine belt diagram available?

Nope, sorry the belt will contact the belt tensioner. Here is a video on how to change the ac compressor out and a video on how to vacuum down and recharge the system:

Here is the belt diagram so you can see for yourself how the belt is routed. Check out the images (below). Let us know if you need anything else.
