No you cant do that without replacing with a smaller pulley and even then the ac would still somewhat work because it is still connected. You would need to remove the compressor if you dont want ac. Or if your ac belt doesnt power anything else but the ac just remove that belt and your set. Yes you can...I just did it by answering my own question. Bought CD Rom repare manual for VW Passat, 1998 to 2005, tried 69" belt to replace 74" belt but had to take it back and get 70" belt. This bypasses my A/C system that was beginning to chatter and was probably about to freeze up. It's just a work car and I didn't want to put big bucks into fixing it up. A/C...who cares. And this is from someone who is mechanically disenfranchised!!!! Will only work on the V6 2.8L because I believe the others have a negative loop next to the A/C. Just carry a long 17mm wrench as it's very tight to work on.

What is the serpentine belt and Tensioner 300se?
The serpentine belt and the tensioner on a 300 SE motor is part of the fan system that controls all of the smaller motors on the front of the engine. The serpentine belt helps turn the alternator, power steering pump, water pump, and the fan. The tensioner is a pulley on this belt that helps to keep the belt tight enough to stay on, but not too tight to hinder operation.

If you get a smaller pulley will you need a smaller belt?
The Quick Answer: yes you will need a shorter belt The Truth: It depends on how MUCH smaller the new pulley is.... assuming it is a serpentine-style belt (aka unibelt), there will be a spring loaded tentioner, which will take up a certain amount of slack, but not more than a few cm...
