Bypass squealing a/c compressor?

My '88 is equipped with the (currently non-working) Hitachi a/c compressor that is mounted outboard of the alternator, and the bearings in it are starting to develop a minor squeal. Is there a good way of bypassing the compressor until I can afford to repair/replace the a/c system? Short of removing the comp and rigging some belts?

Remove the belt, then take a measurement without the a/c for a new belt.

 

+1 ;) I'm thinking about removing my A/C altogether as well. What a waste of space, power, and weight.
