Ok an up date on this air pump delete I have found other post by Conan and others but most use a mustang 5.0 as the engine I'm using a e250 engine 5.0 so the info is less accurate or less of it so I bought a belt 84.5" it's short for my application I believe the stock belt was 91" or so and i have read to buy 2"" shorter belt than stock when removing the air pump.
What is on the serpentine now? A/C PS alt. and WP
What length belt should I buy or a P #
