I am trying to change over the belt to bypass the AC on my truck, will the factory belt for the models without AC work, or is there another pulley size on something? The Belt seems short about an inch or so.

Chances are something is different. You may need to measure how long the belt needs to be for it to work. Also, take a look at the belt routing diagrams site on this page. It will show both and you will be able to see if there is a difference.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.
