Remove a/c

Gents,
I currently have a depowered steering rack but the a/c is still in place. I don't use it, and would like to remove it. There does not appear to be an idler pulley replacement for the a/c compressor. Do I just use a shorter belt? If so, can someone chime in with the length.
Thanks,

Sure. Sure... absolutely the best way. But to do that right, I should remove the belt that is currently on her, and back out the idler/tightening pulley. I prefer not to do that unless I have a belt to try.
Unfortunately, I was on hold with the Kraftwerks tech support line for what seemed like quite a while, even though I was next in the queue. I was at the office and had to bail on the call. I'll give them another try today.

I can check the exact belt when I get home but I recall using the K040460 belt, which is 46 5/8". I am running the Rotrex with no A/C or P/S. Here is a photo of the Gates line card to give you part numbers and lengths.
