2.5L w/ A/C belt posibilities

[BOWZ]

hello, did a search with no luck. i have a 2.5L with a/c, the clutch is going out and living in alaska i don't need a/c, can i just buy a belt from napa that is ment for a 2.5L without a/c and be fine and dandy? i would imagine that the belt is ran the same just shorter, or is there a pully that would go inplace of the a/c compressor? thanks in advance.

Just out of curiosity, but since you have the compressor and dont want to run AC, why not convert the compressor for on-board-air and keep the belt as it is? It will not be so expensive to do the conversion, and I have found OBA to be VERY useful!
