If the PS pump is going in the stockposition as my 1987 with no A/C,
than use this.

Dayco #5060730, length should be 77 inches.

I received this info from a guy on ebay. I saw his car pictures and noticed the belt. That was the info he gave me when I asked.
I have yet to install the belt myself so this is just going on faith.

I run a 69.5" belt. I removed the a/c and used the non a/c bracket. No smog, but my crank pulley is underdrive. So if youve got the a/c style ps bracket and the stock pulley, you need to get a piece of string and route it the same way the belt would go. Tie it off and go to the parts store, theyll measure it for you and get you something close. Id get 2 belt the size they say and another thats about an inch shorter.

I was actually about to ask this too... I want to just get rid of my AC/smog pullies (just have delete pullies right now), and wanted a belt size. I think I'm correct that since I'm using all 3 underdrive pullies the overall belt size won't change, but basically I can just measure what size I need and buy that sized belt at a store, correct?

Attempting not to threadjack, I think it's the same question

Right, but then you would need a different size belt...
