Anyone bypass the ac and know size belt?

I was wondering if anyone know what size belt to get to bypass the ac? I was thinking of getting a small belt to go around the crank and alternator and power steering. Our cars have electric water pump so it doesnt run off the belt if I am correct. Any advise?

Winter is coming but no biggie. Will be a dedicated track car only.

Are you sure the compressor doesn't run off of a separate belt? It does on every other BMW I have owned.
