It is possible but you would need to remove the a/c compressor and you would possibly have to install an idler pulley where the a/c compressor is. Compare the non a/c diagram to the a/c diagram and see if it shows a pulley where the a/c compressor is. if not remove the compressor and buy a non a/c belt.
 
The Serpentine belt on my 1998 jeep wrangler snapped due to a seized ac pump. I was wondering if i can just get a non-ac belt for my jeep 4.0 liter and have it put on to bypass the ac since i cant afford to have ac work done. A mechanic told me it is impossible due to different engine configurations, but my diagram in the jeep shows a guideline for both ac and non-ac belts, so i think he is giving me the runaround, or he doesnt understand the question i was asking him. thanks for the help
 
Why don't you just remove the AC clutch relay in your electrical box under the hood, That way when you use the AC and the defroster the compressor wont be engaged anyway. There is no sense in doing all these goofy belt configurations.

I don't even know why everyone is giving all these crackpot responses, been working with jeeps for a long time. This is a no brainer.
