I ran into a similar problem when I used an aftermarket dampner and the stock belt wouldn't fit.
If you want to use a Goodyear Gatorback belt, just measure the lenth you need with a sewing or flexible measuring tape and use the following chart to get a part number.

Functional Part Number Gives You The Size Of The Belt

4 06 049 5

1st digit (4) represents a K section Poly V-belt.

2nd and 3rd digit gives the number of ribs.

4th, 5th, and 6th digit are the length in inches.

7th digit is tenth of an inch.

Part number 4060495 would be a K section Poly-V belt, six ribs wide, with a length of 49 and 5/10 inches.
