Hi there!
I removed a/c and pollution pump on one of my previous cars and
ended up using a 73.0" belt and it worked fine. I had to change the belt routing a bit, I had to go around the water pump pulley
in the opposite direction(hard to explain but all accessories still
end up turning in proper direction) I ran the car for 3 years like that and friend of mine has had it for 3 years now - still works fine. It looks a little close between top of water pump pulley and belt going to tensioner (about 3/4") but like I said I never had a problem. Hope this helps.
