FWIW, when I replaced the belts on my '81 the spec belts listed were slightly too long and both the PS and Alt were barely tight. I ended up test fitting belts from the local auto parts until I found sizes that fit perfectly.

The amp ratings as well as the Delco part number are stamped on the rear portion of the front case, usually just below the top mounting ear. Original Delco numbers will be 7-digits long with a two-digit amp rating after it. If the alternator has been overhauled you no longer can rely on the numbers.
