Default Serp Belt

My air pump on my 84 Vette is vibrating and coming apart so I want to just remove it and I will need another serp belt. Does anyone have an idea what the # is for a replacement belt that is shorter??

just replace your air pump for $50 and keep the OEM size belt.

I want to remove the air pump. It's not connected to anything anymore, just turning with the stock belt on.

The you should probably fix the missing connections.

but if you're dead set on getting rid of it...route a piece of string the way you'd route the new belt, measure it, and pick up 3 or 4 belts that are close to that size within an inch or two. Return the ones that don't fit.

replace the 88" stock belt with an 85" belt to eliminate the AIR pump om the L83.
