Oh really the smallest 6 rib belt will work (with in reason ) and what accord dx belt is it. i.e. crank to alternator crank to P.S.
Come on being specific helps sometimes.

just take a piece of string and measure where you have to have the belt run without the A/C pulley and take the string into the shop and say you need a belt this long.....when its in a circle....we did this with my friends Eclipse and Napa helped us out alot

Re: (RAB)
You want specific eh....
get the in the car, turn it on, drive to autozone, look at their belts, find the shortest, 6rib belt you can find, , purchase it, put it on the car..
Do you want to know which wrenches to use?
Trust me, the distance is EXTREMELY short.. I got the shortest belt, and its still almost too long..
I guess I could be nice and look at the part number of the one that on my racecar now..

Re: Belt for NO AC in a 5th gen (TeinPrelude)
Of course no one cares now but when they're taking out their AC they will. Anyways. I attained an accurate measurment of the potential belt with no AC compressor on and it seems to be 37"-38" FOR A 5th GEN. Corey and Satan-SRV have said there's are 35-36" but they have a 4th gen. As for finding a replacement belt Autozone is the leading supplier.
Autozone carries Kelly Springfield belts and I got and 37" and 38" they most likely have a 36" as well. Oh and Yes they are 6 ribbed.

take the belts off... take a string and rap it like it was a belt... then mark the string.. measure the string... count the ribs that hte pulley needs... problem solved.

not true the f22a crank pulley is a different size.
RAB I said to get the Gates 360 belt aka 36". It's the same as 4th and 5th gen, same pullies.

i forgot how long mine was, didn't measure it. just took the length of string to the store and got a belt that was as close to that length as possible.

Re: Belt for NO AC in a 5th gen (satan_srv)
i'm sure i could even get a smaller belt on that you guys are talking about. but i just didn't want to get the belt too tight and not be able to adjust the tension on it. but it's a pretty decent fit if i say so.

Re: Belt for NO AC in a 5th gen (JDMlude92)
Well the removal went rather smoothly BTW I used a 37" 6 ribbed belt the 36 would not budge even with the tensioner threaded competely OFF. No ill affects so far, the real test is if I have dead battery in a few days.
I removed the
AC compressor
condensor
condensor fan
dryer canister thingie
lines
and compressor mounting bracket.
