I don't have the number,but I have the same set up with the FRPP A/C eliminator,and my belt is 73.5 inches long.I'm also using a Mustang GT power steering bracket.

So you using non-AC accessory brackets??? If not the belt draggs on it'self where it passes over the water pump...

There are so many variables, easiest way is to have some one hold the tentioner at mid point and wrap a string around the pulleys. Mark the point where it meets with a Sharpie and then measure the string between the marks...

I know it wouldnt work for me no matter how short of a belt i got the tensioner would make it hit itself on the water pump

Get the Mustang bracket for the steering pump,and the eliminator kit.There are some on E-bay.It'll clean up the engine compartment,and,it'll be "right".
