When we removed PS from her matrix, I just bought a shorter serpentine belt, and rerouted it to skip the PS (and AC).
I drew out the belt diagram you posted above, and figured out a path that would turn everything the correct way while skipping the unnecessary stuff, then measured it with a piece of string and told the parts store the length of the belt I wanted in mm.
It took 3 trys to get the right length, and getting the belt on was a little bit challenging, but it gone on just fine in the end.
