Default Air pump problems, what's the best way to fix them?

I have a problems with 5.0 1995 GTS car. It has catalytic converters removed, and the air pump was left dangling. The problem is, that after prolonged storage that thing has seized up good and proper. I can't even crank the engine.

I tried to google, but I seem to come up with Foxbody articles all the time. Is it possible to use a shorter belt to remove this thing on '95 car? What else is needed to do it right?

I really want to leave A/C as it is.

Thank you! That's a very good image. But it seems that there is no 90.2 belt of that size in shops, can I use other sizes somehow?

Arrrrgghhh!!! They don't ship to Europe... Ok, I'll try to find other vendors. So basically what I have to look for is 6 ribs and length of 90.2 in? Nothing else matters?

You can probably get away with using a belt that is a half inch difference in length, if you have to. The tensioner should makeup the slack.
