'92 3.1 V6, AC locked up, non AC belt an option?

So, to keep it short and simple, '92 RS, 3.1 V6, AC locked up. I will not use a junkyard compressor, but I am not buying a new one. Will the belt for cars without AC fit, bypassing the AC compressor, or is there some magical part number someone has scribbled down somewhere just for this?

There is a bypass pulley for the V8 cars that may fit, Dorman 34157, the AC compressor is the same on the V8 and V6 cars, but that's an extra $35, if possible, I'd just like to get a shorter belt that deletes the AC.

EDIT:

Trolled the forums here for the past couple hours, and I found that the V8 delete pulley will work, and that I may be able to use a belt part number 915K6 to delete the air pump as well, according to this thread:

So, should I go this route? I know it will pick up some power, and I also know the smog pump sounds like the bearings are on their last legs, it would be awesome if I could delete it in one fell swoop

Also, this is the thread citing that the V8 AC delete pulley will work on a V6, just so you know:
