Ford AC Elim. Kit - for blower - Belt size

[Ozz]

I searched and searched but it's always the accessories that kill ya when it comes to this.

This is probably going to be filed under "duh" but I want to be certain.

Right now I have a Vortech on my car with ALL accessories including AC. I run the stock size belt still, and want to get the Ford AC eliminator kit. The catalog says to run the stock belt. That's fine, but with the new routing of the blower belt, am I still to use the stock belt?

Like I said it's probably obvious but I'm coming off little sleep from a crazy weekend trip & all-day work my broken down Stang (grrrrr!) so I have all sorts of crazy ideas popping into my head right now.

Thanks

this may sound goofy...worked for me once. take a piece of sturdy string around the route the belt would take, taking the tensioner into consideration. measure it and you should have a ballpark measurement for any decent parts place to match up.

No, that's a good idea. Only thing is I haven't got the delete kit yet. I am trying to be able to get everything and do it all in one shot. If I have to measure and run to the store, that's fine, but the less I do that, the better.
