HELP with 4AGZE Accessories (PS, Alt, AC)

So I've had my ae101 4agze swapped into my ae92 corolla sedan for quite some time now, but I'm trying to finally get all the accessories hooked up properly. I want to run powersteering again, and I've got all the lines hooked up, but I'm trying to figure out how to get the accessory bracket that was originally on the 4AGZE (consisting of PS pump-->A/C compressor-->Alternator from the top down) re-installed as it comes on the engine stock. The problem is, my car doesn't have A/C. So I won't be needing the compressor. This leaves a big open section in the middle of the bracket, and to make matters worse, the AC compressor and the alternator line up with the crank pulley, but the PS pump does not. The way it's supposed to work with the A/C fitted is there's one belt that goes from the crank pulley to the AC's outter pulley. This belt also drives the alternator which is on the bottom. The power steering pump, however, is powered off the INNER part of the AC pulley. I'm sure others who have completed the swap have run into this problem and have found ways around it. I suppose one way to get around it would be to leave the AC compressor hooked up belt wise, but not actually have it doing anything. That plan sounds pretty half assed tho. Any input? The pulley configuration on the 4agze stock looks like this:

We just left the AC compressor there, and didn't hook up any of the lines or wiring. It shouldn't lock up, since like the SC, the AC compressor has a clutch in it as well. Yes, it's a good chunk of weight there, but until we find someone that can make us a dummy pulley, that's how it's going to be left. My bro has been driving it for a few years like that without any problems yet.
