Default AIR pump eliminator question

I bought an AIR pump eliminator from MAM, put it on and now my serpentine belt is too loose. The tensioner is maxed out. In the catalog it says "Best of all, You can use your original serpentine belt" but when I called they admitted that the original belt will no longer work. Then to add to the customer satisfaction, they don't know what size belt is needed.
Has anybody gone through this already and possibly know what belt size is needed?
Many thanks in advance.

Or you can use a cloth tape measure, wrap it around to get the inch size then go and match

They admitted it no longer worked? That can't be good for business. They sell shorter belts for there off road pullies. You could try that one or atleast ask them about it.
