Both the pulleys you have arrows on are smooth pullies, no ribs.
You could probably route the belt how you have it in the pic, but you may end up with belt slip issues under higher loads or higher RPM's, since there is less contact area for the belt on the crank pulley, water pump, and alternator with that setup. The serpentine system is engineered to provide the proper tension and contact area for each pulley in the operating range, modifying that can cause issues.

I did a LOT of research and found someone else had the set up I went and did. I had to buy a ribbed idler. See the picture for details. I know this thread is dead but I thought it would be nice for me to add my pic.

i make an idler bracket that locates where the ps use to be. ive had the belt come off like the pic above at high rpm. at around 7200 shift. i think the belt was slipping also and traction for the wp slippin. i prefer more wrap around wp. thats why i designed mine.

"Ive been really thinking about doing this. Question is how long will the power rack last if you delete the pump and loop the lines"
Just wanted to see if anyone every found out anything. My abs is leakinig and figured i would delete it, I didnt know if it was possible without puting the manual rack.

There is no way thats enough belt wrap for the water pump. I know its easy to spin by hand but thats not the case at higher RPM's when you're moving a large volume of water. Its going to slip, you may not hear it right away, but once the belt glazes over it will scream.

^^^mines also been on for 2 yrs and its not a big issue to worry about anything. ive never had any sort of problem running the short belt mod. even if it does slip on the WP pulley a lil, not enough to effect ANYTHING. so for those of u that wanna do this, belt slipping is no big issue to keep u from running a short belt
