Default What length serpentine belt...

...do I need for just removing the power steering? All I have is the stock balancer, stock water pump, stock tensioner, and the only pulley down by the alt is the alt itself, not running the idler down there.

I'd search but house internet is down so i'm on my phone!

Thanks

Cut your old belt and use it to measure it for yourself. Much more reliable than finding information on the internet...

Use masking tape and wrap around all pullies as if you were putting a belt on, and tape it back to itself. Cut and measure. Go to parts store and get the belt size you measure plus 3 sizes bigger and go try them.

I got rid of my idler, so I cut the stock belt, and turn the tensioner to full closed, then cut belt to match. Took it to the parts store, they found one same lenth.
