Take a piece of string, run it around all your accessories, take into account the tension pully, and voila, belt size.

When you do this doesnt it turn your water pump backwards and make it less efficient ?

no i dont think it turns your water pump backwards....if u have an underdrive crank pulley and the rest are stock i think you will be somewhere around 82-84 inches. i would use the string method to find the best size.
