If he's looking for a belt for the B16A3 he should look into the '94-'95 del Sol VTECs, since the '96-'97 del Sol VTECs use the B16A2.

Take a piece of string and use it to measure how long of a belt you need. Write this down and call parts stores asking for a belt of that length and how many ribs you need.
