Drive/Serpentine belt (for alternator) with Greddy pulley and air pump possible?

I currently have a Greddy pulley kit in my car and I dont have the stock parts. I'm trying to add the air pump back in but the stock belt won't fit even with lowering the alternator all the way.

The stock belt is 53". I'm guessing I need about a 54-55" belt to make this work with leaving the Greddy pulley in, does anyone make such a belt for this setup?

If not, am I pretty much stuck with finding a stock pulley to make the stock belt fit?

Go to an auto parts store and get a longer belt. Done.

Called a few local stores and they don't have longer belts, in fact they didn't even have the stock belt in stock... So I'm stuck with going on-line. And everywhere I look it seems to be short belts for setups with the air pump removed etc, I haven't seen any that will work for my setup yet, so I'm asking if anyone knows of any...

Didn't think it would take me this long to get over to my car to check it, but here it is.

Dayco 5050547.

It puts the alternator and air pump at the center of their adjustments.

Don't call the auto parts store, actually GO there with your belt.

They will have a tool to measure the length of your belt. Measure it, then slide it a little further to get a longer belt.

Done.
