Take a piece of string and trace out the path of the belt and measure it and go get one that size!!!

Yeah, what he said I measured to get close on mine, but had to make a few trips to the parts store to get the correct length. I deleted smog and A/C.

I'm fairly certain that your brackets are different than mine, so the length of my belt won't help you much.

Mine took a 96" belt on it, but I ended up having to buy a smog pump eliminator pulley. Without it, the tensioner wasn't able to push on the belt enough.

Oops. Mine is based on a 351 block, so the belt length is probably different.
