I was using an 89.5 but the tensioner was too loose and was making noise. So I went with an 89" belt. It's tight but it keep the tensioner very quiet. I'm expecting to stretch a little and not be as tight.

AC and no pullies on the car right now, have a set of pullies of a 86 but almost forgot about them still in a box on the shelf, not even too sure if they will fit, so for the time being just the AC. Thanx

Best bet is to grab your rachet or wrench and head right to the parts store. ..Then if you have to swap lenght's its tit..
89.5 would be a good place to start...I think they go up/down in 1/4" increments from there, Least Napa did...
Save your self the grief and do it right there at the store...On my 2rd trip I finally just did it there...
It only takes a moment to swap the belt anyway....
