Help? Important Question. C32 AC Bypass?

Greetings, I was wondering if you could bypass the ac compressor? (Shorter belt?, removing pulley?) If so how? Why? because i'm building a track car and it would be sick. Please help lol

Don't be rude the guy is asking a question for a reason...and it just happens to be I was going to post a new post asking same exact question. I presume like him we need help figuring out how?

1. If anyone knows belt size if one has specific pulley upgrades like I have the 185 crank pulley. Or a way to figure out a belt size like using maybe a thin rope to follow route of belt minus the AC compressor?

My pulley on my AC compressor is wobbly rolling the pulley it has obvious opposition(can't think of word) while turning and it appears metal shims are coming off it. I was told it's a sheer pulley on our a/c compressor thus IF it's throwing out metal shims it's most likely getting ready to lockup or has locked up.

I'd like to run my car down the track this next month thus prefer to bypass a/c compressor in the meantime and get it fixed right over the winter.

Sorry i think If you are going to post with a title like that I expect "I am stranded" or something of the like. I'm in IT and if you emailed me "HELP! Urgent help needed" and then told me my word shortcut is broken. I would put you on the bottom of the list.

Dont cry wolf and you wont get bashed.
