How do you route a serpentine belt on a vehicle to bypass the air conditioner compressor?

Go to an auto parts store and ask for a belt for your vehicle, only without A/C. You cannot use the belt that normally fits this vehicle.
Sometimes this works but many times it does not work. For example, I had to bypass the a/c compressor on a 96 Ford Taurus with a 3.0 liter engine. For starters, you can't go to your parts store and ask for a belt for a Taurus that doesnt have a/c because there are not any made without a/c to begin with. There are "aftermarket" belt tensioners made for many vehicles that will reroute the belt past the a/c. You simply replace the original belt tensioner with the aftermarket tensioner that is redesigned to get the belt off of the a/c pully. In the case of my 96 Taurus, I was able to bypass my a/c compressor with a $35 tensioner and no "rigging" was involved. These parts are available online and in many cases a good autoparts store can order it for you.
MoreSometimes this won't work due to differences in pulley designs on non-A/C models.I have a 99 Taurus 3 litre, the air conditioner seized and snapped the belt four days ago. I measured the length required to bypass the air pulley and it was 79 inches. I found a belt off a 97 Jeep 4litre is a perfect fit,I left the air conditioner on the vehicle, the belt looked like it might be touching the air pulley but the work to take the air cond.,pump off made me just start up the engine and it works perfectly looks close but works great.
