Power-Steering Belt *after* AC-Removal?

hey all... i had my AC removed (good riddance, never worked well!) and am now lacking the belt i need for my Power Steering... can anyone let me know what size belt i need when there is no AC any longer? in desperate need, she's hard to maneuver in parking lots!

Take a piece of string or wire, wrap it around the path that the belt would go, add about another 1/2"-1" to that measurement, and go to a good parts store and tell them that you need a belt that long with so many grooves. That belt is 6-groove, which i doubt you'll find in the length you need. You may not even find it in 5-groove, you may have to settle for 4-groove.

good luck finding one out there. I couldn't find a 36 inch(I think) at 6 grooves. I ended up buying one at the dealer. Believe it or not they have a part number for powersteering w/o AC. The part number is N3A1-15-907 I got them for $40, works perfect.

also during my search for it, some ppl suggested that the goodyear 6pk0915 360k6 will work also.
