Hey maybe you guys can save me sometime/trouble. How long does the serpentine belt need to be for an 88 5.0 with a/c if I add underdrive pulleys(3) and remove smog pump?Thanks in advance.

84.5" shortbelt only by-passes the smog pump. Gains here are a tenth at best. *Note, cars with dealer installed AC have a different compressor, and generally take a shorter belt.
