Couldn't you just remove your belt, use a string of sorts, run it around the new route you wish to take then measure it. It should be close.

I Know this is a old post but like you ,I was looking for away to bypass the AC compressor until I had the means and time to change it out . I came across this post and the only response you were getting is - why - ...lol never seen a complete and full answer to the question at hand here or anywhere for a 7th gen AC compressor delete.
So for anyone else that falls in this position you will need a 7 rib serpentine belt at no less than 53 inches no more than 53 3/4 routing the belt the same way just instead of going around the AC pully from the idler pulley go straight from the idler pulley to alternator pully and so on. I used a Duralast 535kk7 and I still had a tension pully from when I replaced all pullys a year ago and I used it in the place of the OEM idler pulley it is just a little smaller than the idler pulley and everything fit perfectly no problems at all . So hopefully this helps someone as much as it would have helped me ..

This is the belt you will need..

This belt will only work with a smaller idler pulley. The belt i used was a 53.6in 7 rib belt, part no. 7pk1360. I bought the belt in the picture thinking it would work but it was double sided, you WILL NEED a one sided belt because the idler pulleys sit so close together i couldnt even get it between them. Hopefully i can save someone from the headache and torment i experienced working on this pos. Stay blessed
