Unhappy What size serpentine belt do I need?

Well folks, I installed the Ford Motorsport A/C eliminator bracket (just two brackets and 3 bolts $90 ouch!) and was wondering if anyone knows the Ford Motorcraft part number or lenght of belt that I need.
I might also eliminate the smog pump so the belt would be even shorter. If any of you have that number as well that would be great.
The A/C eliminator kit relocates your P/S pump higher on the head to just about where the A/C compressor used to sit. To bad there are no 5Liter Mustangs in the bone yards yet alone one that came without A/C in my neck of the woods. Would of saved me a few $$$$
Thanks Frank

For everyone with belt length problems. You have to measure the belt length. You do this with a buddy. Cut your old belt and feed the belt around the belt line while your buddy holds the belt tensioner up. Mark the belt and measure with a tape measure. Whatever your dimension is round up to the nearest 1/2 inch. Add another 1/2 inch for tensioner take-up distance. This will get you the closest measurement. After installing your new belt, make sure that the tensioner meter points in the middle to high side of the tension range. This is not a guaranteed trick but this will get you closer than guessing and using a string.

Thank's, sounds good. It is hard to do it by yourself especially when you have to take into account the belt tensioner adjustment to rest in the middle range.
