C'mon Tony, pull the smog pump and just run a short belt from the crank to the water pump, get rid of that bulky alternator too! j/k

If you take a piece of string and wrap it around the pulleys you are gonna use, all you have to do is measure the length and get a belt that size. I pulled my smog pump and ended up with a 76" belt, but I still have the a/c on there too. You gotta crank the tensioner up to get past the water pump without rubbing though. It might be best if you have your LITTLE bro over to help you, he can hold the tensioner while you route the string.
