Default shorten belt?

if i take off my compressor and my smog pump since there not being used and get a shorter belt? would that be good? and help in horse but as well for weight reduction? is there a shorter belt just to run on power steering,water pump,crank, and driveshaft? i think those are the main ones

it is not even worth the hasle unhooking the smog equiptment, then you have to re-write the ecu because of the trouble codes the motor is going to throw out thats even if it starts. get a under drive pully system to slow down your strain on the motor, and if you run it at the track get a shorter belt to bypass the a/c. autozone has all the belt sizes on their computer and can match you up on for your application.
