You'll need two different belts if your removing both the Air pump and the AC as there two different belts. You will have very little contact of the belt to the water pump if you stay with the stock alternator pulley and the stock water pump pulley. Most people use a piece of string to get the legnth belt you need.

If you eliminate the air pump and retain the stock pulleys, you will need a belt size of 29.5" to 30". The perfect size is a 29.5", 5-ribbed belt, however, that size is non existant nor is the 30" 5 ribbed belt. So, a four ribbed should work. If you use a 29.5" belt, you will have a hell of time getting it over the alternator lip. If you have access to air tools, zip the alternator nut off, and then put the belt on, and then fit the pulley to the belt. This should work, however, in my situation, I just said hell with it and purchased the greddy pulley kit.

I believe the correct size for the A/C elimantion belt is 37" 5 ribbed belt. (Don't quote me on that one, it's been awhile since I have had that installed)

If all else fails, use a string and get the correct size that you need.
