Plenty of shorter belts available but there is a reason why they make A/c delete pulleys ( so you can maintain stock belt arrangement )

go to auto parts store, they have every belt length. Get your rib patter, run a string where the new belt will go to get a base length then bring your serpentine tool and start trying them till you find the right size. Its what i do and has worked on several cars so far.

Slight problem
Where is the belt from the Alt down to the crank pulley going to run with the A/c pulley gone?
