If the ac is not working then if you leave it switched off there will be no need to get a special belt to by-pass it. The pulley on the ac compressor is just an idler pulley that only turns the compressor when there is current to the clutch in the pulley. IF you never use the ac the pulley just spins . The problem with special belts is if they fail (and they do ) it will be where/ when you cannot get a special belt but you will always get a proper belt from any spares store or garage.

Testimonial: "Thanks I will check it out and see if that is a possibility.."

SOURCE: my 2004 lincoln ls air conditioner is blowing hot

Your issues can not be answered easily or definitively, as the LS is very complex and all electronic.
I would need the stored codes,that set the check light (MIL Light)
You can cycle the right dash display to ACFilter and Reset,with the top row of buttons,in center of dash. There is no sensor on the Cabin Filter. All the dash displays, are just reminders,you can set any way you want, % wise.

Possible issues--Fuses
-- Coolant control valve
--DATC module

You will need a really good Technician,not a general mechanic, to diagnose your problem
You need to put a professional scanner on it, to start any diagnostic work

How do I replace a serpentine belt bypassing the air conditioner ... I am not using the air conditioner pulley at all.

Odds are you can't. The ac compressor is mounted in the belt routing so it would need the pulley to keep the belt tight.
You can get a used compressor from a salvage yard and mount it in place of your old part if necessary. It will allow the belt to run even if it has no freon in the system.
There are a few vehicles that a replacement dummy pulley was designed for, but I am not aware of one for your vehicle. Usually if you try to run the belt without the compressor pulley, it will rub against something or not allow the belt to run in the right direction.

How do I replace a serpentine belt by passing the air conditioner .... I am not adding a pulley I want to bypass it all together

Even if the belt did not rub against something by skipping a pulley, it would be almost impossible to know the right size belt to use.

I need to buy a serpentine belt that will by pass the air conditioner. does Lincoln make one that size

They didn't make any 1999 Town cars without a/c. You can get a belt but I would suggest using a string to get the size and then go the auto parts store and have them match it.

How do I reroute serpintine belt on 2000 Chrysler 3.3l to take out the ac

You have to get an air con eliminator, it is an idler pulley than mounts in place of your air conditioner, it you change the direction of the serpentine belt you can change directions of all your major components

What length of serpintine belt should be on a 1997 pontiac sunfire 2.2L without air conditioning

You will just have to try different belts until you find one which fits well enough to have tension, yet not to short that you can't get it on.

I need a serpentine belt diagram for a 00 s10 4.3 v6 engine to bypass the air conditioner compressor

The easiest way to do that would be to remove the compressor and install a "compressor by-pass pulley". These are manufactured by a couple different companies to help people that cannot afford to fix their A/C but need to get their vehicle back on the road. This fix allows you to use the original belt for your vehicle without having to re-rout anything. AutoZone carries one made specifically for your vehicle. It is part #34175. List Price: $34.99

Serpentine belt replacement

Yes, when you go and get youre replacement belt, just make sure you get the belt for your engine that does NOT include the AC. It will not hurt anything by doing this. The only problem that may arise is when installing the new belt, make sure you install it the correct way.
