Default Can I use a smaller belt? Bypass A/C compressor 4.2L 04 XJ8
So I want to delete all the A/C systems for weight loss. Does anyone know what size belt or other serpentine belt I can use to bypass the A/C pulley.
(Green line is the route of a new belt I want to use)

A cloth measuring tape might work to get the needed measurment

Yes, you can!
Should you? That is whole different question!

Weight loss for faster a quater mile run time?
Would likely be insignifigent, i m h o.
But no air conditing, on a hot day, could be very signifigent.
