The A/C compressor clutch froze. Don't have the money for that repair at this time so I removed A/C compressor and bought the serpentine belt for (without A/C ) but it's still too long.
Any idea what the correct length belt would be? I've looked for compressor bypass pulley, but it seems they don't make one for this model.

Hello,

Since the vehicles without the A/C from factory has different routing, the size is longer.

The best approach would be to use a string to route the way the belt should be and get the measurement that way. As the information on the belt size is not provided if the A/C was removed from an A/C equipped vehicle.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.

Hi there.

I had thought that using the string measurement would be the way to go but thought I'd ask in case I was missing something.

Thanks for your time.
