Bypass pulley for 1990 buick park avenue power steering

I am using this 1990 buick Park avenue for a speacial application and cannot use the power steering pump. I would buy a shorter belt but the tension pulley would not work because the power steering pump is above the tension pulley and the power steering pump pulley is needed to use it. Any sugestions on how to do this.

I fixed a similar problem on a boat engine by fashioning an idler pulley in place of the pump, a bit of fabrication work and i worked a treat.
