Default Bypassing the a/c

I have a 95 Mustang GT and I want to bypass the a/c. Does anyone know what size belt I would need to do that or if I have to run the belt a different way? Thanks.

A Great site by the way!

Na, I didn't need a AC eliminator. Just go to you're local parts store and tell them you need a belt for you're make and model without the ac. I did this and my pulleys are big so my belt rubbed cross directionally on the top of the fan pulley. Blew it in 500miles. Ordered smaller pulleys off eBay and got a stock belt for now.

I did that but they said they did'nt make one so I would have to measure it and all that. They said the only one they had without a/c for that was a Cobra but it did'nt have a smog pump either so.........

Go to a different shop man. I ordered mine through my mechanic through some dicount place and they got one. Of course as I said my pulleys were a little big so i had to go with the next size up, but it works.
