Which Serpentine Belt to Use?

I have a 1988 Camaro with a 5.7 engine and the serpentine belt is starting to crack. How much longer should I expect the belt to last? Also, I was looking online to buy a new belt, but all the ones I see either say "Belt Does Not Run Directly From Crank To Air Pump" or "Belt Does Not Run Directly From Crank To Power Steering". Does this mean the Serpentine belts aren't long enough for this car? What belt should I be looking to buy? Links will be appreciated, if it is allowed per board rules. Thank you for the help.

You can take your belt to any auto part store and they should be able to grab a replacement off the shelf. Shouldnt be more than $30.
