It can be done easily but you will need to get a belt for the engine without A/C which they will have if not you will need to do some trial and error. they don't show us the size of the belt without /C in AllData or Mitchell1, but they do show the belt routing which I have included in the images below. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
