Was trying to bypass AC compressor but was not sure if the size as the auto does not carry one like that for this model. I would measure it with a string but this model and year is in a tough position, and was trying to see if someone knew the size to make it a bit easier.

Unfortunately you cannot simply use a shorter belt on this. The path of the belt would contact the tension-er and the stretch without a pulley would be too long and the belt would vibrate even if it could clear the pulley. You have to maintain a compressor with at least a working pulley.
