I don't want to steer ya in the wrong direction, but with my 12v I ran a non a/c belt, but had to remove the compressor. I would think it's the same on the 24v, assuming that's the truck you have???

On my 12 valve, I used a non AC belt to bypass my AC.
Worked fine. There was one pulley thr was smooth and grooved side of belt was riding on it. No problem.
