Default What Belt for Ebay A/C Delete Pulley?

Hey i know some people on here have the same A/C delete pulley off ebay and i was wondering what size belt you guys went with? The pulley is about and inch or two smaller than the one on the A/C compressor so do i need a shorter one or is the pulley moved to where i don't need one?

Pulley looks like this, not sure if its the exact one but you get the idea...

Your best bet is to measure.

Measure twice, buy once.

I bought an A/C delete pulley from Advance Auto Parts. It's the same size as the compressor pulley. So I used stock belt length. That pulley looks a bit smaller though. Yep measure twice and buy once.

It was a day away at the warehouse and it was like 30.00 something dollars. It's 39.99 now.

I've never had a problem with it. It's 10.00 more but, I didn't have to buy a new belt to use it. So, I guess you save a couple of bucks and you get it alot faster than ordering it from ebay.

I don't remember where I bought my pulley, either Advance Auto or Autozone, but it was $20 + tax. It was labelled as a "bypass" pulley so the stock belt worked. Of course it got squeaky so I ended up replacing the belt and it's been kicking *** ever since.

It's plastic, and you could tell it wasn't the best design, but it works fine for now.

The reason I had to replace was the A/C compressor locked up. After 10-15 minutes of gutting the car of the A/C system, it was relatively easy to install.

I just ran into this issue with my build. My stock belt was way too loose. I went with the Gates 060578. Fitment was just right.
