Default Belt questions with relocated alternator and no ps

Hello I have a 2001 z28. I'm doing a single turbo and have to relocate the alternator. I've already ditched the ac/heater and am going to ditch ps while I'm at it. My question is that what belt length should I go with. The alternator kit that I'm going with will relocate it on the passenger head. I'm trying to go as light as possible and this is not my dd so I'm wanting to get rid of the power steering. The front runners should be too bad haha. I'm sure people have ran into this problem before. I've tried searching and came up with nothing. Thanks guys!

Why don't you ask the company you got the alternator bracket from?

Lol, If that fails I have used a long belt and cut it. Wrap it around everything and make sure to put tensioner half way. Use pair of vice grips to clamp it and then paint mark it. Take it back off, measure, then convert inches to mm and voila.. Walk into a parts store. The part numbers are the length in mm.
