Serpentine Belt
I was on here a while back ago and some gave me a web site to go to about running serpentine belt after you have taken the air pump and a/c off. if anyone can help let me know.

all you need to do is wrap like a piece of string around what the normal routing order would be ,without the ac and air pump, and determine the total length. Then just go to your local auto parts store and find a belt that is the same length. The eliminator pullies are not needed, it's cheaper just to run a shorter belt.

If you have a old belt use that to measure the new route, if not use a peice of wire as the string tends to strech giving you the wrong length!!

its a pretty simple process just do what me or calfroper said and you will be fine. If you want to spend extra money you can get the eliminator kits for both, but I don't see why you would.
