Default Clutch size for Compressor

I'm looking to replace my compressor that died about 2 years ago. When I went to Autozone to order a rebuilt compressor, they asked me whether it's the 5" or the 5 3/4" inch one.
I had no idea that those standard compressors came in two sizes and i couldn't find info on which one was on my vette (nothing indicating on the compressor). I also tried to measure the clutch, but the question is which one element should I be measuring.

I know that this is totally noob and stupid question, but anyone has an idea which one I should order?
