Can I use a smaller belt? Bypass A/C compressor 4.2L 04 XJ8

So I want to delete all the A/C systems for weight loss. Does anyone know what size belt or other serpentine belt I can use to bypass the A/C pulley.
(Green line is the route of a new belt I want to use)

Weight loss for faster a quater mile run time?
Would likely be insignifigent, i m h o.

But no air conditing, on a hot day, could be very signifigent.
