I doubt that you would have 2 if you keep the smog and air conditioning, they should work right.

Same size belt used on mine. The larger water pump pulley makes up for the smaller crank pulley....it evens out. Good time to put a new same size belt on if you need it but that's about it.

Do not need to change your belt if you are just changing your pulleys. Good luck.

Sometimes people discover that they need to change belt sizes when the A/C was dealer installed. If yours isn't then you should be good to go.

No....just take a piece of string or rope and wrap it around the pulleys and measure the length and that will be your new belt size. Try and use the old one first though.
