One of the tubes is broken and the pulley on my smog pump is kinda wobbly so instead of fixing it I am just going to remove it from the car. Anyone know the correct length belt to use and maybe a part #? Thanks.

Just get a peice of string and measure. The cobra has a factory underdrive water pump pully, so it will be a different belt than a normal 5.0

You also need to change the belt routing.

is there any drawback to just by-passing the smog pully and leaving everything in and hooked up.

Ok but how do I take the belt tensioner into account when measuring?

Pull it tight ignoring the tensioner and then add an inch or so.

Then go to the parts store and buy a few lenght belts. If you don't know, the last 3 digits of the part number are the belt lenght. So if it's GDYR80845, then it's an 84.5" belt.

Test fit the belts and pick one that fits on the tight side of the tensioners range. It will stretch a bit when it breaks in.

Then return the rest. I usually swap the belts in the parking lot that way i can return them all and get more if they are wrong

pull it as far up as possible and measure it like that. FYI I got an 84 1/4" belt to work on mine, smaller usually = better with belts, they tend to stretch out.
