the ac compressor on my car froze up. Had to take belt off to get home(short drive)At this time I don't have the money to replace compressor and rechargeing. So my guestion is would it be safe to bypass the compressor with a shorter belt, and can it be done? Thanks

Yes I have seen it done
it all depend on what engine size you have (some you can and others you can not )
important not to change the direction pulleys rotate
