Looking at the drive belt routing it should be possible but they don't list a belt for non-ac use in that vehicle.

What is the actual failure you have? The compressor itself or the bearing in the drive pulley? If its the compressor itself you could simply unplug the clutch power connection and use the pulley as an idler and not have a problem. If it's the bearing that the clutch pulley runs on then you may need to opt for a shorter belt if you don't want to repair the AC system.
