I am eliminating the smog and A/C but will use the P/S. Should I get an AC elim pulley or can I just route it differently. Smaller belt will be needed..., does anyone know the size or have the same mods to tell me the best way to do this? thanks

You can get the March kit that relocates the tensioner, or get the AC elimator kit, or get a smaller belt. I went the smaller belt route before I added the blower. What I did was get a belt that was a snug fit when the top of the altenator was unbolted and pulled over, toward the driver side. Then once the belt was on, pull the alt over and bolt it back up, and the belt should be tight. I ran the underdrive cranl & water pump pulley with stock alt pulley and I ran a 77.5" belt.(if my memory serves right ) The belt size will depend on what pulley arangement you are running.
