If you have a serpentine belt, there is no real way to do bypass it. The AC must be part of the route because it keeps the tension on the alternator. There is a bracket with a pulley that jeeps w/o AC had and if your AC doesn't work, try putting a bracket and pulley in.
you might be able to go under the ac compressor pulley instead of over it and use the belt for the non ac version of your engine you can look up the belt and check the routing here http://www.gates.com/part_locator/index.cfmgo=part_locator&location_id=3598
Check out 2carpro's.com, they have some great diagrams of belt routing.
I had a `93 Cherokee and it was right under the hood.
belt is probably to big, try a 1 or 2 inch smaller belt.
If the compressor is locing up I belive you have two choices (1) look on the belt routing digram under the hood I belive it shows belt routing without ac unit, I think you can buy a belt for a non ac jeep & just route the belt to bypass the ac unit-you will have to try it! (2) in the power box you could remove the ac relay to stop cycling of the compressor. as long as the clutch free wheels this will work, I have done this myself without short term issue.
loosen the alternator and it will slide right off Check 2carpros.com for a belt routing diagram.

I need a routing diagram for the serpentine belt on a 1998 Jeep Wranger, 4 cylinder, with air conditioning
Check the manufacturer's routing sticker under the hood.
All 1994 Jeep engines used a timing chain.
he serpentine, or accessory belt.
We went to our local Autozone and they printed out a diagram for us free of charge.

I have a 95 GC Laredo and the routing diagram for the serpentine belt is on the fan shroud. Perhaps yours is there as well?
