4.9L Belt modification

Has anyone with the 300 six (serpentine belt) bypassed the smog pump? I know the 5.0 guys have a part number for a new belt.

What belt (part number) would i need to bypass my smog pump? I'm trying to eek as many mpg out of her as I can (18.5 last tank, 4x4, 5spd driving like an old lady-getting run over), fuel is going out of this world and money is tight.

You don't want to do that, trust me. You won't notice very much incress in power or gas mileage and you'll cause more problems. 18.5 is incredibily good with a 300, I would be happy with that.
