Bypass the A/C compressor smaller fan belt 1999 explorer.

[Neo]

Hi I am wandering if any one has any knowledge of what size fan belt I can use to bypass the A/C compressor on my 1999 Explorer. As the comperssor bearing is a little nosy and the ac don't work anyway so I would just like to not be running it with the A/C compressor.

Take a string, wrap it around the pullies, use a ratchet to pull the tensioner into the position it would be with the belt on. Tighten the string, then carefully remove it and measure. That's your new belt size.
