I'm wanting to know if there is a way to bypass the A/C compressor by putting on a smaller serpentine belt if that is possible to do.
Do you
have the same problem?

Because of the way the belt is routed on the engine it isn't possible to use a smaller belt to bypass the A/C. The image shows the belt routing for that engine. The A/C is number 5. It might be possible to bypass it if they make an A/C bypass pulley for that engine, but I don't see one listed. What is the issue with the A/C compressor? Bad clutch bearing or failed compressor?
