Need some clarity on air pump removal
Do I simply need a dual alternator pulley and a belt that will work? I have no cats at all so that part doesn't matter. I've found a dual alternator pulley I can use, does anyone have know a belt I could use?

I have no AC, and want to keep power steering.

Use double belts, same belt size as oem. Don't over tighten, or under tighten.

Done.

Just verifying. You said you couldn't remember if they were the same size. Wouldn't need to compare two of the same belt.
