That is not the way to fix it. You remove the AC Pump and install a bypass pulley. It keeps the same belt, route and tension.

Can I bypass the AC compressor pulley with a shorter belt?

Yes, this is possible. However, unless it was the AC compressor clutch and pulley which failed, bypassing the AC pulley is unnecessary. Simply disconnect the wire to the AC compressor clutch and that should do the trick.

how do you route a serpentine belt for a 1988 chevrolet 350 ci with a ac. and airpump 2500 series truck

Be vary careful I think that it may have a reverse flow water pump. You can install the belt two different ways. Both will work but the wrong way will shorten you engine life a whole lot. Try your local library for a book on you car.

Your belt routing should be on a diagram on either the fan shroud, or the core support. However, this routing depends on whether or not your truck is equipped with a/c. Either way a belt routing diagram should not be difficult to locate.

I have an 82 6.2 and I suspect they are the same. The innermost belt runs over the fan to the A/C unit and down under the power steering back to the crank. The middle belt runs over the fan to the power steering. The out side belt runs over the fan to the alternator. Hope this helps.
