Serpentine Belt
Anyone know what size belt I will need if I got rid of my A/C and my smog pump? I have a part # in summit gtr-4060735 but I am not 100% sure. The description says without air pump and a/c. Does air pump mean smog? I measured my stock belt and it was 86.50 inches. The one in summit is 74 i believe.
Thanks
Thanks

You may have belt clearance issues running it the way they do in the diagram with the purple belt (no ac no smog). I'm running mine the way the pink diagram is, only I do not have A/C and the PS pump is in its place.

FYI, that site recommends an 84.5" belt for my setup (smog pump del. w/ AC in), and I'm now running an 85.5" belt which is still in range on the tensioner (wanted something a bit looser because my last belt destroyed a pulley).
Whatever you do, don't buy a Duralast belt from Pep Boys
. I did this to try to get a quick fix at 8pm on a weeknight, and the thing stretched like a rubber band.
I'm using a belt from NAPA which is actually a NAPA-branded Gates Micro-V belt and its length is very stable when hot.
