belt length?

[Street Fighter]

i need to know the belt length for an a/c bypass on an ATX. my comp. is shot and i'm afraid the drag will take out some of my other acc. please help ASAP, this is my daily driver.

I just bought one of these for the same reason. The number is Gates # K060410. They have it at Advance Auto for like 19.99. Made by Dayco. However, it wasnt so successful for me. I put the bypass belt in, but it rubbed the A/C pulley a little bit, enough to make the pulley spin and the belt whine. So I just removed the front plate of the a/c clutch, pried the clutch off (it was WAY shot anyway) and put the front plate back on and put the old belt back on. Im thinking of loosening the compressor and putting some shims under it to move the pulley out just a little bit and run the bypass belt. Either that or buy another compressor.

thx guys. i'm not worried about it rubbing the comp. b/c i'm going to pull it off. i can't really tell(looking from above) but i think the the shaft is broken. so i'm just going to get the comp. outta the way and run the short belt you listed until i get the pieces needed to repair the a/c system. thx for the help.

**EDIT- the 41" belt is for a MTX. i'm looking for a short belt to fit a ATX**

I used a 69.5 inch 6 rib v-belt. Its a little skimpy around the water pump but its getting the job done. The way I routed it I have plenty of clearance around the AC pulley with it left intact. I ran it normal except after the alternator I routed it over the 2 tensioners and down to the cam pulley, email me if you cant visualize it, I'll send a pic. Make sure you disconnect the elect. plug going to the condenser so it doesnt kick on with the defrost.
FYI as I understand you cant just remove the whole condenser as a whole unit, it is used as a mount for the alternator, apparently you would have to gut it and replace the hollowed out shell or bracket.
