2012 6.2 AC Bypass HELP !

My AC has **** the bed, totally seized and I need this truck today, does anyone know of a shorter belt that will fit without the AC so I can get back on the road ? And my local parts guys want 500 bucks for a compressor, its 20 degrees here so I can do without till spring. I heard of a bypass pulley with stock belt but was hoping for a shorter belt we can just throw on without that to get us going ?

Can you cut your old belt and route it the way you desire? This should give you a ballpark idea of the length you would need.

In case anyone need this info down road, you cannot run a shorter belt it will hit a coolant line and theres no way around it. I went the junkyard route, 90 bucks for the compressor, 6 month warranty, put some AC oil in it and away we went. If you want to delete the AC you can get a bypass pulley for like 20 bucks to run with the factory belt size. Those are the options.
