Apparently you can. I'm in the process of doing this now on a 1997 sl2. The belt route diagram shows both routes. I believe you will lose the air dryer with the defrost setting but for a short term solution the cars back on the road. I also unplugged the clutch assemblyon the compressor. The new A/C clutch assembly is $142 and has to be ordered. I only found one parts store that will order it for me.

How can you bypass the ac compressor on a Saturn ion?

If you want it constantly running jumper the high pressure cut off switch wire. And if you dont want it running turn off the ac. If pully is seized see if a napa can get a shorter belt to route around the ac compressor
