How do you deal with long instrumentals?
Without having to cut them down? I've got a line on a good song that has a 1:40 second long breakdown at the end and am not all that sure about what kind of footage is good for instrumentals in an offbeat romantic video.

Well, first of all, explain what you're trying to do.
Generally speaking, there's quite a bit of freedom in terms of scene selection in instrumentals, because there's no lyrics to sync to - so for me, it's always been rather a matter of establishing an athmosphere/mood for a certain segment and going with that.
Offbeat romantic video... doesn't sound like a big problem, you can always just break away from the characters temporarily and go show some sceneryor action or something (again, I don't know what exactly you're up to). If all else fails, random neat-looking footage in good sync is your friend.

I've worked with short and long instrumentals all the time in my new and old amvs.
Just DEW IT... You don't have lyrics to guide / restrict you so just use scenes that seem to 'hit' on the beat of the music.
Feel the Rhythm is probably my best example of how to use 'long' lyricless sections of a song. Just check it? ^_^
