Any parts store will have them, you just need to specify the length you want, how many ribs, etc.

6 rib, 84.5" or 85" belt will work if its stock with A/C and smog pump is all your removing. Make sure you ask for it by length and rib. And double check it, cause you have idiots that work the counter 1/2 the time.

I would take a wrench and drive to the parts shop and start with a 85" 6rib belt and then go from there. Your going to have to run the belt over the waterpump across the other side or it will rub against itself.

I am running a 76.5" belt, thats no smog only. I have ac and ps. I drilled a hole in the tensioner bracket, and rotated it. Not something I would recommend, but it has worked for years. The tensioner is running in the loose end of the range, and I get a little chirp when I start it up sometimes. Good for the bearings in the accessories though.
