for a 94 the brackets are prob different from 87-93 style. maybe because of the style of water pump used not 100% sure. just wrap a string around your pullies and bring the length to a auto parts store, then have them find a belt with the correct length from the string. and also make sure the its the correct width

no it shouldn't seize up it has a auto tensioner for the belt.it dosent have that much tension to lock up ac, alt or p/s just make sure you rought your belt correctly.

with your old belt still on car, start it up and note what direction every accessory turns, counter or clock wise. put your new belt on and make sure there turning in the same direction as stock
