I've read numerous and confusing posts on the elimination of the a/c compressor and which belt to use. Some advise a pulley at the a/c location. Based upon the sticker in my '93. Can't I just do as the diagram indicates and by a non-a/c belt and bypass the a/c?

Thanks,
 
That looks the same as my 98. I'm planning on deleting all the ac equipment this year. It hasn't worked for years, and I like driving with the windows down old school style in any event. Just need to get a slider for the rear window and I'm all set. My Lightning has ac, and I use it once in a while just for compressor lubes sake. But it comes on with almost all the settings anyways.
 
Have a look at the selection at Rockauto & the belt characteristics, you'll find both applications.

On a 1993 3.0 Ranger (4x4) you can eliminate the a/c compressor and use the stock belt for a vehicle w/o a/c. This is the NAPA belt. No bypass idler is necessary.
