Having the same problem with my f150...same year...same size.

I went to O'Reilly's and asked for a non a/c belt and when the salesman was pulling up the info on his computer, he came across the belt track diagram for both the a/c and the non a/c belts.

He told me that judging by the sketches, it showed the pulleys to be in different locations on the belt route. He said by what he could see, a non a/c belt wouldn't work.

I don't know why, and I never got a second opinion. I never tried it myself though...just took his word for it.

F150 serpentine install without ac compressor?

You will not be able to route a different belt without the compressor even if you use a shorter belt but you can sometimes get what is called a "bypass" pulley for some of the models but I would need to know the year and engine size to see if one is available.......


Can you bypass the air compressor pulley on 2003 ford f 150 4.6 L?

You mean the air conditioning compressor? It can be done, but you'll need to find a belt which will work for that application... it's a bit of a crap shoot, and I suggest you find some F150 forums to find out which belt you can do this with and how to route it, although there really is no need to bypass it.. as long as you have the AC turned off, the compressor clutch won't engage, and the pulley will spin freely.
