I'm sure you can but you would have to measure how much shorter it will be.Take your belt off and use a piece of string and go around where your belt goes except leave out the a/c ccompressor and you will have the length,just go to the parts store and measure one up.Remember if it is to big or to small you can return it for a different size.Also when measureing with the string on the car make sure it will not hit or interfere with anything because of bypassing the compressor,but it should be ok.
its a size 680k belt or 68 inches i know i went through five sizes till got right and you have to down size idler pulley in order to fit secure we spent 8 hours perfecting it.so the answer is yes will take alot of time and effort depending on your car the string thing does not work trail and errorWiki User

Is it possible to bypass the ac compressor on a 1997 olds achieva 4-cylinder if so what size will the belt be?
Don't try to bypass the compressor by using a shorter belt. That will alter the belt wrap around the pulleys, which will result in slippage, squealing, and rapid belt wear. Go to www.dormanproducts.com and look up the part number for an A/C bypass pulley and then call your local auto parts store to check stock. They fit in place of your compressor and use the same bolts and bolt holes. No drilling. They contain a pulley the same size as your compressor. They cost around $30. You can use the original belt and keep the same belt routing. That's the best way to go.

yes but would not recmend the belt is pricy and hard to find if your compressor is bad thay do have bypass poleys to but it is also pricy if you need to get some string take the old belt off and go over the poleys with the string bypassing the compressor to get your belt size and go to the auto parts store to get the new belt and put it back on in the same patern as the old one skiping the compressor good luck
