Yeah, I did that, though I don't recall the belt number. I had to route it differently, using the tensioner under the alternator the wrong way, but its worked like this for a darn long time (several years).

The way I got the belt size originally was to take a piece of string, and route it around all the pulleys and the tensioner, then measure it, and subtract an inch so the tensioner would be useful. 68" sounds right for some reason. Its pouring rain here otherwise I'd go check for you...
