I'm trying to figure out what size belt I need if I eliminate the A/C compressor from the drive belt system. I can’t seem to find the dummy pulley anywhere near by and I need a solution ASAP. Thanks

You will need a compressor bypass kit for this engine if they make one. The belt size will be trial and error, the compressor is $174.00.

This is not much more, and you can fix the problem correctly. Here is a guide to help you and I have found the belt routing diagrams so you can see how the belt can be bypassed.

Even if you don't charge the system, it will still fix the problem. Check out the images (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.
