I done it many moons ago. Just get a belt for a x16xe without AC. It was easy to do. Hardest part was removing that pissing thing from under the glove box (condenser?)

if i remember rightly some of the bolts to remove this is in the engine bay and quite hard to find. if its not loose there will be another bolt somewhere or break it off like i did as i couldn't see the last bolt lol
