Default A/C Pulley Bypass

I have a Dodge Dakota v4 2.5L 2WD Manual. The A/C seized up and busted up my belt. I looked on jcwhitney for a ac pulley bypass and could only find one for a v6 and v8. The Autozone website doesn't have anything either. I don't mind not having a/c, it doesn't rain here a lot so open windows is ok.
Can I take off the a/c and just put on a non-a/c belt?
Or do I have to go and get a new compressor?

As long as the a/c pulley is not in the way of the path of the belt, you can do it. However, I wouldn't know which size the belt would need to be

I did the same thing to my '98 318. O'Rielly auto parts gave me just what I needed, it's listed in their books for non A/C trucks.
