There are two different 3.0 engines for that car, the first image is for the DOHC engine while the second is for the single cam engine. Easy to tell them apart, the DOHC engine has the alternator buried down on the rear of the engine, the SOHC version has the alternator right on the top of the engine. The first version isn't able to be bypassed without an idler pulley to replace the AC compressor as the pulleys line up in a way that the water pump wouldn't be driven using just a shorter belt. On the SOHC version you either remove the AC compressor to allow room for the belt, or you can just remove the drive clutch from the compressor.
