You mean... you want to get rid of the belt going around the A/C compressor? If so, you'll need to get the pulleys and belt from a like engine that has no A/C pump and put them on. note: if you're just trying to save gas or something, simply not using the A/C will accomplish the same thing. The belt free wheeling on the pump uses insignificant amounts of power/gas.
AnswerIn most cases, if the serpentine belt from a non-air conditioning equipped motor (same motor as yours) will follow the same route with the omission of the a/c pulley and not touch the a/c pulley at all, then yes, you can omit the a/c. There should be no effect on the normal operation of the engine. If the a/c pulley is in the way, removing it may allow the necessary clearance.
