I don't remember how the factory setup is laid out on the later cars, but could you just remove it and buy a shorter belt? Or does the routing depend on the PS pump to keep the belt away from something?
I had a manual S-10 box on my '87 Camaro, but that has a serp / v belt setup. I had only a small serp belt on the crank pulley, water pump, and alternator. Everything else was deleted:
