Serpentine Belt

I was having trouble finding the correct belt length that I need for my serpentine. I need a belt that will work for Water pump, alternato, power steering, and the belt tensioner. I didnt really want to run brackets with delete pulleys for the smog pump and AC so I was looking for one on summit. I got to this screen, hopefully it comes up, http://store.summitracing.com/egnsea...9&NeXID=111599

but theres nothing on there that seems like it would fit my application. Anyone else do something like this? or have any ideas

Re: Serpentine Belt

grab yourself one of those flexible sewing tape measures (might not be long enough tho) or a good long piece of string, wrap it around the pulleys the way a belt would sit, mark the length, take it into your reputable parts store, show it to 'em and tell 'em how many v-grooves there are, they should be able to help you out... i used to work in the parts dept at canadian tire (which i guess you don't have in the states ) and we had this lil device that you'd wrap a belt around, or whatever, and stretch it out and it'd give a measurement of the size, which we could then cross-reference to one of our belts.
