The belt makes a triangle around crank, water pump and power steering pullys. Any decent auto parts store should be able to look the belt up.

My 69 uses this setup:

Belts:

Dayco 15325 Crank to Water pump
Dayco 15445 Crank to water pump to Power Steering
NAPA 25-08003 Power Steering to Alternator

The critical one is the Crank to Water pump- too long it slips, too short it eats water pump bearings. And remember this is a 69 427/435 belt setup

There is a dagram in the assembly instruction manual (AIM) showing the correct belt routing and original GM belt part numbers for all '68 engines and options combinations.

Top sheet/picture is 327 engine belt configurations, bottom sheet is for bigblocks.
The circled setup is from my AIM, because that is what I have - p/s, no a/c. My AIR pump is gone so I don't have that belt. Note there is a redundant belt from the waterpump to the crank. I don't have that one either, I just have 2 belts.

Good luck with the GM belts you'll need it. I tried useing them and they just don't fit between the crank and water pump pullies.

Most local parts stores will be normally selling either Gates, Dayco, or Goodyear belts....all major brands and there catalogues are all correct as to lengths and widths in the OE configurations....If your system has been altered then my suggestion is to visit the locals and have them measure the old ones with their belt gauges.....
