Default belt routing when removing smog?

Ok so i am taking off my smog pump and had a few quick questions. Also my a/c is gone, and i have the powersteering relocation bracket if that changes anything...
When removing the smog, do you just unbolt the case from the bracket and take it off... or do you have to get a new bracket for the alternator?
what size belt would you use when only running a powersteering, alternator, water pump, and crank pulley?

Thanks for the hlep

You can actually just bypass it and leave it on the car. Not sure what belt size you would use.

When you put the belt on without AIR and SMOG it has to go around the water pump first, then around the crank. I used a 73.5" belt with stock pullies. I've tried going around the crank first, and it rubs against itself (I'm glad I only did a burnout lol[8D]). ANNNNNNND ramble complete!!!
