take a piece of wire and wrap it around the pulleys as if its the belt.. once you make it around full circle, measure the wires length and go to the store... tell them you need a 6 rib belt of XX.X" length

Since you're deleting the smog your original belt will be longer, therefore make one cut in it and use that to measure. Just remember that a new belt will stretch.

If you have a PS and the A/C compressor still on it, you need a 77" belt.
It also works with the smaller G2 stock alt pulley without rubbing.
