Can I bypass the A/C compressor with a 66.7 inch serpentine belt with no extra hardware? And what is the diagram for belt installation if so?

Hello,

Okay, our reference guide only gives the OEM part number for a serpentine belt for your vehicle with A/C, not for the part number without A/C. Having said that I have included a diagram of the serpentine belt routing for your vehicle with and without A/C in the diagrams down below. To determine the length of the serpentine belt you will need to bypass your vehicle's A/C compressor you will need a length of twine or string. Start wrapping the string/twine around the components in the order the diagram for without A/C shows. When you reach the first end of the string/twine, mark where the ends touch at. Measure this length of twine/string in millimeters. Next you need to know how many ribs are on the crankshaft pulley. The Kelly serpentine belt number will be KXX YYYY[XX=number of ribs on crankshaft pulley and YYYY=length of string/twine in millimeters]. For example, the serpentine belt on my vehicle is 1130 millimeters and I have 6 ribs on my crankshaft pulley so my Kelly serpentine belt number is K06 1130. You can use this number to cross reference different brands of serpentine belts if you wish. I hope this helps.

Thanks,
Alex
