You mean without the A/C clutch pulley? I don't think so, unless you go to the trouble of figuring out which new sized belt you are going to use, buy that and swap for a much shorter belt temporarily. That is, if the pulley sequence will still work for you...

I think you are confusing transmission clutch with AC compressor clutch.
You are looking for something like this.

or this http://www.sjdiscounttools.com/rob41067.html

Google these two parts and see if you can find them in Canada.
