Default Re-routing belt....need some info

Im re-routing my belt, and ive done alot of searches but i cant find out exactly what i need to know
its for a 95, so i dont know if thats different setup than 87-93 but again its a 95

so i wanna delete my smog, keep my a/c and change out my crank pulley.

where do you buy just a crank pulley, (i wanna just change the crank pulley)

do i just bypass the smog, and not buy that dumb bracket, if i bypass the smog, i cant see how the belt could run....... any info would really help

yes you can just skip the smog pump, don't need an idler pulley, it will go close to the crank...but have about 2" gap

the way the belt goes around the water pump pulley now....go the other way after you bypass the smog....thats all

couldnt have said it better myself.

Good luck on findin the right size, my buddy took the belt off his 70 challenger (no joke) and it fit fine after he removed the smog.

still can't beleive it worked, haha.
