Bypassing a/c compressor with shorter serpentine belt?

My '93 E250 with 2.5L TD is at the Italian mechanic where they figured out my car wouldn't start because of the bad a/c compressor. The mechanic called around today looking for an a/c compressor, filter-dryer, etc. to get my a/c system working again. The message he left on my cellphone was "parts are more expensive than i thought. come by tomorrow to discuss estimate."

So I'm thinking I may have to order the parts from the states and have them shipped to my APO mailbox where I can install them at the base self-help garage. My question is can I drive the car with shorter serpentine belt that bypasses the a/c compressor? I know other cars can do this but wanted to know if there was any issue with my car?

Any info tonight is appreciated before I go in tomorrow morning to the mechanic. I've already priced compressors online in the states and it looks like $300 is average.
