Air Pump Elimation Belt?

i've been reading about removing air pump without installing pully set up, i am wondering who sells a short enough belt? i read aparently goodyear 300mm is the right one, is this true. my local parts store says they can't get a 300mm goodyear. so i need to know the proper length belt & where to get it. still stock pulleys, thanks

if the information i've found is even close to right the greedy pullies still don't contact water pump very good, can still turn pully by hand with belt adjusted, is this true? if so why buy pully kit when shorter belt will contact the same amount. anybody know the truth on this?

With the greddy and ebay pulleys the Alt and water pump are larger than stock, this gives more contact area on the waterpump. The aftermarket WP pulleys are also ridged to give it more grip than the smooth stock pulley.
