What size sperpintine belt do I need to bypass ac compressor 01 town car

Ac compressor locked up does anyone know what size belt I need to bypass it

 

[SGilbert]

No one can tell you that. with a tape measure, measure it. Then go to auto parts store & measure to your hearts content.

Take a piece of string and measure out where you need the new belt to go.

Make sure the string is tight with little or no sags between the pulleys. Which is tricky with the self-adjuster, use a 3/8 breaker bar to move it where you to be need. May require a second set of hands. Another option would be to remove the guts from the compressor so the pulley spins freely.

I think I'd go to the junkyard before I'd do all that shit. It's definitely interesting though. Thanks for the video.
