Default a/c elimination kit

I just purchased a A/C elimination kit Ford Motorsport part # FMM8511A50. The kit moves the power steering up to where the A/C compressor used to be. I need to know the part # for the new serpentine belt I have to by. Someone said Goodyear # 4060845. Are the last three digits the length? I heard the belt must be 1/2 inches shorter. Or, do I buy the stock belt for a 1990 mustang w/o A/C? One more question: Do I have to make the power steering hoses longer?

The stock belt is more than 80 inches long, is under 60 inches really what I need?

is the a/c the only pulley you have removed or do you have the smog pump off too. if so then it should work with a 72.5 or 73.0.

I removed my smog and A/C at the same time. I used a 73.5" long belt and its kinda snug, which isn't a bad thing.

oh, and you won't have to do anything to your power steering hoses. They will work fine as is.
