Re: what size belt do i need to bypass ac compressor o a...
I wouldn't because you need the defrost to work while in Rain with windows up or in the winter. Good luck with finding measurement for mini-van. Not many people void them.

you may omit the compressor with a shorter belt of you can find one. just make sure the rest of the pulleys are working especially the water pump and power steering.
Dorman Products makes a special bracket & idler pulley assembly for most popular American vehicles like yours. It is installed so that you can remove a seized A/C compressor. Check with your local auto parts stores to see if Dorman has this for your vehicle. It's called an Air Conditioning Compressor Delete Kit. See
Call the auto parts store and tell them you are doing that.
They can look it up on their computor with ac or without ac, and get the right belt.
Some vehilces don't have a listing for no ac and can't be bypassed.
You have to purchase an air conditioner compressor delete kit. Any belt you try to put on will not work duse to the routing. The kit comes with a bracket an idler pulley and a new belt with all nessessary hardware to install they run about $100.00
Extra a/c load on belt will cause any marginal bearing to become noisy... check carefully with a probe (I use a long extension... two foot, or an equally long screwdriver as a stethoscope) Be very careful that you don't get it or you, caught in the belt when doing this. All bearings make some noise, but one will stand out from the rest if it's bad.
Yes, you can as long as the pulley diagram is the same for the engines with no AC. There will most likely be a diagram on the front of the engine or in your owners manual showing the belt diagram for both cars with AC and without AC. Just make sure to buy a different belt that will fit it now. Hope this helps. Good luck!
