You can bypass this compressor by just measuring the pulleys with a piece of string routed as shown but not around the compressor. Then you will have to buy the belt that is a little shorter then this measurement so that you can have the tensioner take up the slack. You have to do it this way because they don't list a belt with no A/C so we don't have a size to give you.
However, the best way to do this is to just replace the compressor with a bypass pulley. I showed a picture of one. You will need to search for one that fits your vehicle but they are pretty common.
Let us know if you have questions. Thanks
