If you do try it to ballpark the new belt... just make sure you have the vernier adjustment at the compressor all the way in, or at least at the halfway point -- otherwise when the new belt stretches a bit breaking in, there'll be less adjustment left to take up the slack and prevent squeaking.
-- take the old one and cut a section out of it, so the remaining belt covers both your pulleys ~3/4 of the way around. You don't need to cut it in two pieces to put it on your pulleys.
-- take a string and wrap around the belt-covered pulleys, measure when taut.
-- take that measurement to your selected brick-and-mortar parts store.
If you wrap the string around the bare pulleys, it's gonna be too short, by a long ways. Wrapping the old belt around the pulleys spaces the string out enough to get in the ballpark, which you can compensate with using your adjustment. Much easier than trying to hold the ends of a cut belt by hand to the right tension on the pulleys.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one
Re: A/C Bypass belt size
See if you can get a pulley kit to eliminate the compressor. I know I saw a pic of a K engine with one bolted to it.
