I'm sure the ranger comes without an A/C so the parts guy at Pep Boys can get you a belt for a ranger without an A/C. Now you will pobably have to remove the compressor to route the new belt. You can also probably buy a ranger without power steering. Go ahead and do both at once.
I did this on my 97 Protege. But it had PS, AC on outside belt and Water pump, Alternator on inner belt. So removing the belt and driving it told me I could get by without P/S so then I just started taking everything off to save the weight. Take the Ranger into service station and have them remove refrigerant first. Be green.
