I have a 1990 Mustang engine with carburator. If I eliminate the A/C and Power Steering can I run a single belt between the crank, alternator, and water pump pulleys? Someone told me this will not work because the water pump is reverse rotation. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks!

I want to measure mine. It doesn't look that tall.

Done all the time. You want a 70.5" belt.

I think the 70.5" belt only works if you use the A/C delete pulley. Am I wrong? Is the water pump pulley smooth or grooved? If it is smooth how could that work?

Thanks
