To be honest, I had an a/c compressor fail on me and the only thing that I could find to bypass was an a/c bypass pulley. You can find them on ebay, or do what I did and get it locally. I had them look up one for a 94 wrangler 6cyl and it does just fine... reason you can't leave it out is because of the rotation of the fan clutch. routing is near impossible to change without getting rid of the mechanical fan. If you are desperate for more hp, you may look to put in a 2nd elec fan to relieve the extra power from the fan clutch. My buddy did so on his but it only makes a little bit of difference. I swapped for an air hogs filter and flowmaster to make mine breathe easier.
