Default removal of AC compressor and new belt

I have a 91 accord and removed the ac lines....is it possible to get a shorter drive belt when I remove the ac compressor, one that will go right from the underdrive pulley to the alternator/ps pump?....can i get it at like pepboys or autozone or is it a custom thing? or can i use the existing one....did they ever make 4th gen accord without AC?...what should I do thanks

You can remove the AC compressor, and run a belt straight from the crank to alternator. When you remove the compressor, measure what lenght of belt you will need, plus counting the number of "serpentines" (i think?!) on it.... ^^^^ or ^^^... and that should be it.
There's always a belt from another car that could fit your needs.
