Good afternoon,

You can eliminate the compressor but you will need to replace the belt. You will have to get several belts of smaller sizes to see which one will fit. There is no listing for the 4.0 with no air conditioning.

There are bypass pulley kits that bolt in the place of the compressor after you remove it. You will need to check with your local parts store for availability.

I also attached a YouTube video of installing a bypass pulley using your own belt.
