Hello, my serpentine belt broke and I was told my A/C pulley was locked and was told I could just bypass the pulley with a shorter belt. Now the people at the parts store said I need to remove the whole compressor, what is the true procedure.

Thank you. 81 1/8 is too short but 82 works wonders and car runs smoother.
