So I just got done installing my Ford racing AC eliminator kit where it relocates my P/S to the top and went to my local O'reily and ordered a new belt without AC and they gave me a drive belt and it measured out to 13/16x85 1/4 inch & 20mm x 2165mm. I tried to wrap it around the P/S to the crank pulley to the waterpump and it seemed to short. so then I tried to route it from the P/S to the W/P to the C/P and it came out with to much slack.

Have no idea what size it was, but when it comes to needing it, put the old one back on, pinch the slack up, take off a couple inches for the pully and take it back to oreillys and have them or you measure the length and they should be able to help you out by size. If you get an employee that enjoys people they will take the time to help. Trial and error sometimes helps, but if their is somebody that knows the exact length that that helps to.

I got it on the belt is so new I loosened the P/S and the bracket to hopefully add a little more extra slack and it worked it sits on the tensioner naturally.
