1996 E-150 Noisy A/C compressor

My vans a/c compressor is getting really noisy and i was wondering if i could get a different size belt to just bypass it?I can buy a a/c bypass pulley from ebay but i need a new belt anyways.I have the 5.8 351 and the a/c hasnt worked since ive had it so any info would be appreciated.Thanks

You can pull the pulley and install a new bearing in it. If it don't work just the idler pulley is running. You can also buy a used idler pulley with a bearing in it for a decent price. Tell them exactly what you want.
