Default TYPE-S serpentine belt Q's???? plz help

Has anyone had experience with using the AEM TruPower pulley kit on an RSX Type-S and has also deleted the A/C??? I have installed the AEM pulleys a while back, and in the process decided to remove my A/C in hopes of finding a belt locally that would fit. Well, ive had no luck. Not too many shops in my area stock Honda style belts. lol

So for now, i left the A/C compressor in place and am using the supplied belt with the pully kit. I would like to remove the compressor and use a shorter belt. 1- to loose some parasitic drag loss, and 2- to loose a few pounds in dead wieght.

So if anyone knows what size belt to use, please let me know.

Thanx

If you do plan on doing this, air-tight seal all of the parts you remove. You will be amazed how much you can get for an A/C compressor and its parts.

You are really devaluing your car by doing this, and the "drag" many people think the A/C puts on a car with it off does not justify this. A/C is only a drag when it's on. Better off removing the power steering if your really looking to get power back.
