Going to try an idler pulley delete

I'm going to try finding a shorter belt and just not use an idler pulley. In the picture attached, I plan to have the belt go where the green line is. I will use the old belt (now cut) to determine the length. I will post my results. I may have to wait a couple weekends though until I have time for this project. Not sure if this is feasible for when there is a large electrical load such as with the A/C running, but for light duty I think there may be enough tension and contact area on the alternator for this to work fine.
