Default What belt to use if I remove AC (6gen)?

The AC and alternator runs off the same belt in my 6th Gen. Does anyone know what belt size I would use if I removed the AC?

Call up your local parts store and tell them the Make, Model, Year. [Since you won't tell us here] and specifiy the car WITHOUT A/C. They should have the listing for you. The Honda 'fast moving parts' catalog has the belt listed as well.

I thought I made it obvious what make and model by posting in the Accord forum and stating it was a 6th gen, but I guess not. I didn't know the 6th gen Accord came with the option of no AC.

Any other suggestions?

Sorry desert, I dont think that will work, if you stretch the belt in your two hands it will look as though you will be riding on two pulleys that are about an inch in diameter, then maybe. What do you think?

I think I'm going to tie a string around the two pulleys and measure the circumference and then go from there.
