Drive Belt Routing

Drive Belt Routing
I am going to replace my drive belt, but am planning on eliminating my A/C compressor in the process. I do have Power steering and wonder if I just get a belt that fits a 2.3L without A/C but with Power steering? Would the idler and tensioner work where they are located now? It is a 1997 2.3L engine and I have not had much luck finding a routing diagram for it without A/C but with P/S. Any help would be appreciated!

This is for a 96, yours should be the same, post # 7.
Looks like you just need a non A/C belt.
