You can bin it all and just use a shorter belt.

to undo all the pipes you need to remove subframe and drop engine. If your not bothered cut them off, easiest option.

I cut mine out. Couple of cuts at most and some brackets to remove and it's all out. Just tilt the coolant radiator back to slide the air con unit out. Somebody will find you the part number for a non AC belt. Euro car parts list them too. You'll save a huge 10kg by removing everything.

Normally to loose the excess weight.
Also a lot of people don't understand how air con works & think there saving money by leaving the AC switched off & opening the window
