AC belt issue
Is there a trick to getting the 63 inch belt on the AC compressor?? I losened the compressor and moved it inwards (towards motor) as far as the limit of the lsot would go, but the belt still won't go on the pulley. Went back to advance and autozone and they say that's the longest belt they have...Hate to take the bracket or the crankshaft pulley sleeve off then force it on the belt...

351W = 61 5/8".
420 = 63 1/4"
460 = 62 1/8"
There are longer ones used on Econolines, but your profile says F250, so that's what I went with.

A/C = E4PZ-8620-G / Motorcraft JC-634-LA / 1/2" x 63 1/4"
P/S = C9PZ-8620-GT / Motorcraft JC-604-L / 1/2" x 60 1/2"
Vac Pump = C9PZ-8620-C / Motorcraft JB-332 / 15/32" x 33 1/4"
Note that the number portion of the Motorcraft number is the approximate length of the belt. The two letter prefix is the width.
