The short answer is "NO." They do not sell shortened belts. To fix the problem, you can do two things. Remove the a/c clutch with a puller and install a new one (a real pain!). Or, replace the a/c compressor.

Can you bypass the ac compressor with a pulley or belt on a 97 jeep wrangler tj?

Have your mechanic run the serpentine belt around the compressor. I had a bad compressor last year, and the mechanic just re-routed the belt until I could afford a new compressor-then he installed it and re-routed the belt again so it would run the compressor. Purchase a serpentine belt the same vehicle but without A/C. The shorter belt will drive all the other accessories and is routed the same as the belt used with A/C, except for the compressor.

You can unplug the wire going to the ac clutch, but if the bearings are the problem you would want to ask the auto parts house about a non ac serpentine belt if they make one. There isn't a shorter belt, but the part stores do sell a dummy pulley that goes in place of the compressor.

I did it on a 2002 T&C about 2 years ago and have not had any issues. I took out the a/c relay also. I kept the package to the shorter belt and if you want I can tell you the size - not sure if 01 and 02 are the same, though.
