Looking to delete power steering pump, wondering what belt size to use

You're going to have to try several length belts to come up with a belt length that will work (if any will work).

Most belt manufacturers use "intelligent" part numbering. IOW, you can tell how long a belt is (among other specs) by decoding the belt part number. You can then compare the belt with P/S and try a few shorter length belt for a pump delete.

For example:

You should be able to find similar information is most other belt manufacturer's catalogs or buyer's guides.

Me, I would avoid the hassle and just deal with the leaky pump straight on.

If you're deleting power steering, wouldn't it just be easier to just leave the PS in place, fit a free wheel of some sort and run the stock belt?

Deleting the PS pump and running a shorter belt may not work (not to scale diagrams).
