I was thinking of getting a short belt, but I was wondering if it takes out the air pump as well as the air? And is there anything else i would need to do to get it on there different than a standard pump?
Thanks!

I had to put a short belt on my car today to bypass the smog pump. there was no way I was getting a 895k6 which is what people said they used, so i had to get a 90" 6 rib from a different parts shop, and it fit perfectly, but dang it cost a bunch i guess since its a rare length..

what does the 895k6 cut out? I don't know if i want to get rid of the power steering, although, i'll probably only have this on at the track, so why not?

I AM the random post master...bow down
With stock pullies, the 895k6 only cuts out the smog pump, but I found that belt too short to fit on my car, you'll either need a 900k6 or a 905k6
and once i eliminate the smog pump, do i just need to disconnect the tube to the heads? Put a bolt in it, right? Did i miss anything?
and for the smog, AC, and power steering, is the 595too short again, or is it just right? And yes, stock pullies... for now
I used the 90"6 as well on mine.. All I bypassed was the smog pump. I had asked ppl on other boards what size to get and they told me 89" and one like 83" or something like that.... Well they were ALL WRONG!! 90"6 is enough to get rid of your smog pump if its the only thing you are deleting. You dont' need a pulley set to take the place of that pump as you would for the a/c pump.

you do on the cobras due to the oil cooler lines
I need an 89 inch belt with my pullies, but no one makes one around here. so I have to live with my 89.5 which is too short, but gets the job done.
an 88.7 is what autozone had, but that was to short to even go over the idler pullies lip.

that made no sense. if an 89.5" is too short, and the other number you listed is definitly too short, what makes you think a 89" is going to fit when its halfway in between those 2 numbers? maybe you meant go up to a 90"? I got my 90" at o'reilly, its a gates belt and cost 40 bucks95snoozer said:
Mine was $30... And 95snoozer.... I have a "95GT" hence the name.. When I asked others about what size and they gave me the wrong size number.... I had told them 95 GT, 5.0 Nothing to do with Cobras... so if they were telling me that size for the cobra then they were wrong still. Cobra...5.0= two different engines!
