Default Belt size?

Does anyone know what size belt I would need to get rid of the A/C and the smog pump?

it won't work unless you make a change to the belt tensioner.
it will rub together and smoke itself off in 30 seconds.

There is a little stub on the back of the tensioner you have to grind off. I did it when I removed my A/C.

i gotta disagree with the belt tensionser mod. i have no smog or ac and the stock tensioner is fine. in the pic you can see there is plenty of room. probably like 2 inches or so.

Do you happen to know the part number of the belt that you run? And how long have you run that setup?

you've also relocated the power steering up the AC position.

if he just wants to run out and buy a belt, he can't do it without the tensioner mod.

I saw this once before, but it did not have a diagram with the A/C and the Smog pump removed.
