Bypassing A/C with drive belt

Recently (yesterday) i lost all power because my acc. belt fell off long story but i know the cause sort of), what i was thinking about doing now is (since my ac doesn't work and i don't plan on fixing it anytime soon) bypassing my a/c with a smaller belt, one that fits around the crank shaft pully and the alternator pully. I've heard someone say they did it on the org but i don't know who it was and i tried searching but couldn't find it. If anyone know's what size belt i should get thats pretty much what i'm looking for and if so how do i put it on easily (i was just thinking about doing it like you put on a bike chain, turn the crank shaft while sliding it on with a screw driver)...Any help is greatly appreciated.

Re: Bypassing A/C with drive belt

Once you find the right size belt, the way you put it on is the same way you always put a belt on - you loosen the tensioner pulley bolt, retract the pulley upwards, put on the belt, tighten the belt with the tensioner pulley and tighten the pulley bolt. Finis.

Well first off i was trying to do it without a tensioner pully, but it seems they don't have a correctly sized belt (i just checked autozone) so i'm just gonna have to wait oh well...
