Hello,

Vehicles that are equipped with factory A/C, there is no information available on what is the belt size or part number with A/C bypass.

The best course of action would be for you to use a rope/string and route around the pulleys (by passing the A/C) and take measurement. Then use that length to find the belt. Typically, your local auto parts store can find the belt by the length.

Keep in mind that on some cars it is not possible to simply bypass the A/C as the A/C pulley will be on the way of the routing. If that happens then the compressor needs to be removed.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
