Belt question single turbo

My single turbo project needs a new alternator/AC belt.
I deleted the air pump.
Do I need two belts instead of serpentine belt?

The AC is not align with the alternator.
If you have the belt code size, I appreciate any help

Thank you

You need chadwick's Tweakit Racing Air Pump Deletion Idler pulley and you can use the stock size belts:

There is a single turbo version and a twin turbo version

pm Chadwick for one

I would get the pineapple one before the tweakit pulley kit. IMO the pineapple one is better made and is more readily available.

Thank you for the tips - i will buy one.

One last question, Is the RX7 1993 originally has two belts or just serpentine belt?

And I doubt you can buy the Tweakit kit any more. MANY people have had bearing failures in that kit. The Pineapple kit is the way to go.

Yes, the car stock had 2 belts - one for the alternator, airpump, and water pump, and one for the power steering and AC.
