I am sure this has proably already been ask in the past but can't seem to find anything on it. But my question is can you put a shorter serpitine belt on 94-95 5.0 that would eliminate the smog pump and if so what size do I need. Thank you for the help in advance

Do a search b/c someone just posted one in a previous thread on the same question. Yes you can do it.

thanks for the help. was trying to keep my ac though but found out you can't cause the belt will rub on the water lines. any suggestions beside having to bend them if that is possible without breaking them.

My car ran fine with the "blue" route just stretched down around the AC. No rubbing.

I think maybe the reason the measurement is different from yours is because it bypasses the smog AND a/c. if you just did smog then the numbers will be different.

It could also be different if you have STOCK pullies on. Does anyone know what size belt one would need to skip A/C and smog with all stock size pullies?

is it possible because I have a 94 cobra that they routed the waterlines a different way cause When I put an 89.5 length belt on there it rubs on a metal water line that is coming from the water pump looks like to somewhere under the block haven't investigated to much but that is what is giving me trouble.
