I have no cats and my heads are plugged in the back so my smog pump is just wasting space spinning the belt. I plan on taking it off and running a shorter belt...i also want to do an A/c delete as i have no need for it in a convertible. So my question is do i have to buy an a/c delete kit or can i just take it off and run an even shorter belt? My final question and MOST IMPORTANT is belt sizes? what size belt whould i run w/o smog but keeping a/c or what size belt would i run with out a/c or smog? Also im anyone has a diagram of how the belt runs on either setup would be greatly appretiated! thanks in advance!

I run a FMS A/C delete kit, no smog pump and I use a 71.5" belt.

The a/c delete kit is nice, it moves the power steering pump up to where the a/c condenser was.

Get the string out and measure it, that is the easiest way to get the right belt the first time.
