Bypass A/C pulley

i've got a 95 max and the a/c pulley is noisy. instead of replacing the pulley/compressor since it doesnt work anyways, i want to temporarily bypass it buy switching to the belt from a 95 maxima without a/c. this belt would be going over the alternator and the harmonic bal only. currently goes over harm bal, a/c pulley, alternator.

The question is, will the a/c pulley be in the way of this shorter belt? will i have to totally eliminate the a/c system inorder to do this?? can i just switch to a shoeter belt without any modifications???

I called a local dealer and he says that these maximas dont come without a/c according to his computer and the diagram which shows on their system.
I've got an FSM which shows pics of both setups side by side and are labeled with a/c and without a/c. so there has to be a belt somewhere... napa doesnt have it and can't order it either. where can i get this belt in Canada?? does anyone have a size of this belt so i can find a similar one of another vehicle...

i really need that a/c pulley to stop spinning... the noise is really annoying.

We don't have a harmonic balancer, just a crank pulley.

No, it shouldn't get in the way.

Search, I've responded to at least 3 of these same exact threads myself. There are many posts about which belt number(s) to use when bypassing the compressor.

No A32 (USDM, at the very least) came without AC.

I used NAPA part #25-060355 (store location had to special order it) The belt model was 6PK903 and 920mm. It worked perfectly. My car is a 1995.

What's odd is that even in the owner's manual it shows belt routing with and without A/C. I never got that, helpful I guess....
