A/C Bypass Accessory Belt Part Number? (size)

HI guys,

I desperately need to replace ethe a/c clutch bearing on my maxima becuse that thing whines like crazy. The problem is that the car gets driven every day and I only have time to work on it at night. I wanted to bypass the a/c compressor entirely and just run a belt around the rest of the sprockets.

Does anyone know the part number or the size of the accessory belt that would span all pulleys BUT the A/c?

Thank you in advance for help.

you could get a fabric measuring tape and use it to measure the length you would need. The width specs will be the same. I would think the 4th gen belt length would be the same as well since it's the same engine essentially

I really wish I remembered the size but I don't

I had to bypass my AC a few summers ago and too expensive to replace it all. Match the ribs and take a few guesses unfortunately.

Is that including using the idler pulley? Or just around the crank pulley and the alternator pulley as a straight shot?

I'm getting a belt tomorrow (now on my third) thats 36 and 1/8 inches.

Im hoping it will work.

37" was too loose.
