Default smog delete

I know this is talked about a lot but I can not fond what I'm looking for. For the ones that have done it what size belt did you have to get when you took your somg pump off? I still have AC, just taking the smog pump off.

Let me know if you know what size I need.

Thanks...

the eliminator is much better than the shorter belt way. i did it the way you want first and when the belt broke i had issues getting the right one because i didnt write down the size i was using. then when i did know the size the only place that had it was napa.

i've did it before but you have to re-route your belt also so its not making a sharp turn on your alternator or your belt will rip after a few thousand miles. i wanan say its like 83.7 inches but i could be wrong because its been awhile. just take a piece of string and measure it around.

what i did was i drove down to napa and told the guy that i needed a shorter belt and i would just try different belts on right in the napa parking lot until i found the one that would fit, so then i wouldnt have to buy 20 different belts lol
