Use a "straight edge" to make sure that the "valley" area (where the belt rides) is in alignment with the other pulleys

Need to know if you have a Detroit, Cat, or Cummins engine in order to answer this. As for the idler pulley itself, it's pretty simple to locate - it's the pulley which only spins, and doesn't actuate a pump, alternator, compressor, etc. Removing it is as simple as loosening the belt, unbolting it, and installing it in the opposite order.

Can you bypass the AC compressor on a 2001 Ford Escort ZX2?

No, not that I know of. ZXTuner sells an AC Delete pulley that replaces the compresser with an idler pulley. I have it on two of my ZX2s and it works fine and is easy to install and no new belts are required.

Probably the idler pulley or the tensioner pulley on the serpentine belt. Carefully use a little squirt bottle and spray each one with a little water. When it gets quiet you know which one to change.
