You could use a piece of string and wrap it around what you need then measure it. Then, go to a parts store and get what you need by giving them the length, ribs, etc… Should be pretty straight forward.

usually the belt routing requires the A/C compressor to be there. A shorter belt will usually have interference issues, or won’t make contact well with the other parts. I would try to find an A/c elim kit, or find the factory parts and bracket for the same car as yours w/o A/C.

you could just take the A/C off and put a supercharged in its place…
