I don't think that you can either find a belt taht will fit on your engine w/out the A/C compressor, because of the drive belt pattern. You can do is try finding an idler pulley and bracket that you will install in place of your A/C compressor. Nic. Contour 99 MTX V6 fully loaded, stock with 110000km. Illuminated sunroof switch.

Check out your diagrahm, located on the passenger side of the engine bay, that illustrates belth routing for a/c and non-a/c. no interference. I am sure Autozone, or your local parts store would carry a belt for a car w/o a/c. Ray '99 CSVT - Silver #222/276 In a constant state of blow-off euphoria.

You can either go from the top, passenger side, about even with the motor mount (but slightly below it) OR from the passenger wheel well, remove the splash shield, and fender liner, then you can easily access the tensioner from there. (MUCH more "turning" room than up top, though it takes longer to get to b/c of the shield/liner) turn it clockwise (if standing on passenger side, facing car.) to remove tension from belt. While holding, remove belt from on pulley (recommend A/C pulley as it is the furthest, and gives the most slack.. bottom right from pass.side. facing car) release breaker bar, snake old belt out from behind tensioner pulley, remove. replace in same routing (with treads facing the same direction, not "flipped" over.. follow diagram on car...) remove tension, add belt to A/C pulley once more.. release tensioner.. done. 15 minutes, MAYBE!!!!
