that ac belt is suppose to go around the idler pulley (because cars are not designed to move the ac compressor on its mount).
there is a nut on the front of the idler pulley. loosen that - should take about a 14 mm closed end wrench (on mine, cannot get a socket into that area). Now, look down the top of the idler pulley and you will see a 10 mm bolt head. probably need a long extension and using a socket turn that bolt counter-clockwise so to move the idler pulley downward and thus it takes the tension off the belt.
reversal of the procedure is how you put the belt on.
hope this helps.

I get what your sayin' and I have got the idler pulley off. My problem is putting the belt on with that part that's in the way (it's circled in the attached pics). I'm gonna jack it up and try and wing it here in a few minutes. I'll let ya'll know how it went later tonight or tomorrow! Wish me luck!!!

RE: Installing Air Conditioning
If you're trying to save that last ounce of weight, remove the interior parts. Take the glove box off its hinges, take the reinforcer bar behind the glove box out, take the A/C box out, and replace it with a straight duct made for the non-A/C version of the car.
Plug up all the ports if you expect to reuse the parts later.
