Yeah, I was wondering that too, because my Contour has a similar serpentine belt setup. Even if I could route a belt w/o PS, I'd have to figure out what belt length would work...seems a lot better to leave the pulley there, but not have it actually do anything.
I wish I knew more about the setup...I mean, you have a pulley connected to the pump. Assuming it has some sort of shaft connceting the two, you ought to be able to physically seperate the pump from the pulley, then re-install the pulley as an idler pulley. Who knows--it just might be possible to do this without doing anything irreversible!
I'd love to hear from someone who's done the delete: pick their brain for ideas how to go about this.
