Chrysler Repair: bypass airconditioner with serpetine belt what size?, cloth type, tape measure

Question
bypass airconditioner with serpintine belt dont know what size to use can you help me?

Answer
Hi JT,
My thought would be that you go to a trade autoparts store and ask if their catalog shows the belt size for the your engine and year in the event that A/C is not used on the engine. If they only show the size for A/C equipped engines then I would suggest that you try to measure the length with a cloth type tape measure and then buy one of about that length. If it is too loose or too tight then just return it for the next size down or up. The belts are listed as to the length and they come in graduated sizes so you should be able to get one that fits.
