The only difference would be the normal power you have when you're not running the A/C or defrosters becuase you bypass the A/C compressor with the shorter belt. The compressor runs when the defrosters are on to remove moisture from inside the cabin. If you do go with the shorter belt, remove the A/C relay from the fuse box to stop power from going to the compressor connector/motor.

No power increase at all, as the compressor pulley free wheels when it's not engaged.
