Default Question about Belt length.

I have a 90 mustang gt, stock motor. My smog pump has been bypassed but it still connected to the pulley system, and frequently makes scary metal on metal grinding noises while driving. I need to know what length serpentine belt to buy now so that it eliminates use of the smog pump. Anyone know?

Here's how I did it...and all it cost me was the new belt (duh) and a ribbed tensioner pulley instead of a flat one...no A/C...the belt length was trial and error...it's been on there and running like this since the motor was stock in 04 to this day with the same belt...
