Well it is different then when in the past you could just cut the belt and run. You might be able to procure a serpentine belt that would work and allow you to bypass the AC. FastLane might be able to give you the right belt. Another pretty low cost way would be to get a used compressor from the "Pick and Pull' and install it. Not to difficult if you don't care if the AC is operative.
