Can I bypass the A/C pulley on my car with shorter belt? I know it would be a performance part, but can it be done?

Good morning,

I do not see the bypass pulley listed for this motor from the parts stores. That is a pulley that replaces the A/C compressor and mounts it in the same place so you can use the same belt.

You will have to remove the belt, go to a parts store and get some shorter belts to try for fitting. I attached the routing of the betl for you to mount the replacement belt.

I also attached a youtube video of the procedure for you to follow for the belt.
