Default Length of engine belt when bypassing the A/C?

Any of you guys know which length I need if I want to bypass the A/C? I would measure it if I could but the car is in storage at the moment. I'd really appreciate it.

good luck with that one, you can bypass the smog with it still on but not the a/c.

Read the description:
SERPENTINE BELT 5.0L WITHOUT A/C & WITH SMOG 1985-1993

Part Number: BELT3 Serpentine belt for all 1985-1993 5.0L Mustangs without A/C and with the smog pump still in place.

Works with the Ford Racing A/C Eliminator kit M-8511-A50.

This 6-rib belt measure 84.5" Long




Hense, my first post.....


Again, you can't just bypass the a/c. You have to get an eliminator for it...

OK. I thought I could bypass it by using a shorter belt. Would've saved me time and some money. Thanks fellas.
