Welcome to 2CarPros. My first question would be why? Has the compressor clutch bearing failed or showing signs of failure? Like noise or rumbling or just locked up? The clutch is a replaceable item on that compressor without needing to recover and recharge.

From the belt routing it may be possible but you would need to try a few shorter belts to get the correct one.
