I have a 6.5 with ac. I need a belt for it MINUS the vacuum pump. I have to use a different vacuum pump because my banks manifold doesn't clear it, it came off a v belt engine. Any suggestions ?

Here is what I've found :

1994-1995: 101" - 101.5"
1996+: 99.5"
Basic rule of thumb is ~1" shorter then stock belt size when removing vacuum pump.

Have you tried a new shorter belt yet? If so, what size? Is the routing different than with the vacuum pump?

I have not purchased a belt yet. I am wrapping up the 6.5 swap and will be doing the belt soon. I'll let you know how it goes.
