I need to replace the serpentine belt and will be bypassing the A/C compressor. I need to know what length the serpentine belt should be and also need a diagram.

Good morning,

I attached the diagram for you of the belt system.

In order to do this job, you need a 398K4 belt. There will not be much contact with the water pump and that concerns me.

The A/C compressor went bad and I can't afford a new one and also can't afford to be without a car. Is there another way?

Not many options. The compressor is the only thing run by the belt beside the water pump.

I attached a compressor from rock auto. It is $172.00.
