I own a 2000 dodge dakota V6.

My ac unit seized so I would like to bypass it like shown in the picture but the belts I buy are to short with the tensioner fully released. Can I buy a belt to bypass it? and where or which one is it? The no ac belts I buy are all way to short

What I recommend is to measure the distance around all the pulleys and ask for that length belt when you get it. They can get a belt based on length. Keep in mind, you are changing the system, so make sure the new belt runs all the accessories properly.
