Default A.c. Compressor fix or work around

Don't know much about cars and done some research and coming up empty handed. The a.c. Compressor pulley is rattling which caused the wire that plug into it to break. I don't use my a.c. At all anyway so I tried searching for a smaller belt to bypass it or a bypass pulley Just to be able to drive it until im able to properly get it fixed but can't find any solutions there. The only thing I can find is a pulley by itself for around 60. Is it possible to pull it off and just change the pulley? Not worried about not having a.c.at all, just need my truck back on the road asap, only car I got. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

2002 Mazda tribute lx, 2wd 3.0 engine.

Looking in the workshop manual, yes you can remove & replace the clutch/pulley. It shows using a "puller" to remove it after removing the centre bolt.

It also instructs you to remove the compressor from the engine 1st.
