Re: belt size for AIR bypass

do you have AC still or a ac delete pulley in place?

if you route the belt like the tech article says you may need a longer belt than they say. Last thread i've seen a guy use a 98 inch belt i believe. dayco belt 5060980. but my advice is to measure it out first with string to get an idea. if not, then jsut get a 97 and 98 inch and see which one fits. take the other back

Re: belt size for AIR bypass

Not everyone carries that belt size - it's a 98.6 inch belt with 6 ribs - most places sell belts in 1/2 inch increments. Even then, one size does not fit all - you'll need to experiment with your car to get the right size, but the 986k6 is a good starting point - guess it depends on the tension in your idler pulley spring and such - when I did this years ago I had to use a slightly shorter belt.
