disconnecting a/c drive belt

hi, after getting thru 2 a/c compressors this year, i've decided to try running my 1998 2.3 ultima auto with a shorter belt that bypasses the a.c compressor completely. having read all i can, all i discovered is that there does not seem to be a belt listed for the auto without a/c. does anyone know if this is possible ?, and if so, which belt do i use ? and is the configuration the same ? Cheers. Mark.

Hi, I had a 2.3 manual with a shorter belt on it to bypass the aircon compressor so there must be one, maybe its listed under the manual ?
Or just disconnect the electrical connection from the compressor?

hmm, good idea but the bearings have gone on the a/c pulley so its gotta go, also there r 2 belts listed 4 the 2.0 ; 2 belts listed 4 the 2.3 manual ; but only one belt listed 4 the 2.3 auto ? ........do you still think the 2.3 manual belt will fit.....?

Cant think why it wouldn't but wait for some knowledgable 2.3 guys to appear before you buy one 
Cany you buy it and return it if it doesnt fit?

In conclusion : there is another belt that is not listed on this site, it fits the 2.3 auto without a/c ! its not the same as the 2.3 manual belts ! I don't hav the finis number but i got it from ford for about £35. Brilliant site, keep up the excellent work Mark.
