Serpentine Belt

My truck (1989 5.0) has ps, ac and air pump. I eliminated the cats on the exhaust and want to know if there is a belt that I can use if I take the air pump off. I know this belt will have to be shorter than stock. Thanks.

My air pump locked up awhile back, and I had to yank it off too. I put bolts in the hoses. I ran a non-ac 5L belt and it worked okay.



'93 F-150 loaded and modified!

ford racing also sells an idler pulley that takes the place of the air pump, using the stock belt part # M-8604-A50

If I remember correctly a 887K6 belt is what I used when I took mine off.
