another smog delete question

[fiveowed]

I pulled out my smog system and installed the delete pulley and now my belt is way to long, I thought I would not need a new belt but I guess not, did anybody run into this problem, what size belt did you have to go to?

Before i ran a smaller belt i had a smog delete pulley and the stock belt fitted perfectly.

I also removed the smog pump and installed a pulley. My stock belt fit just fine.

same here, i run the $65 pully out of summit. everything fit just fine.

are you sure you have your belt routed the right way?

 

[wannaboost94gt]

Why not just short belt it? you don't need any pulleys?

 

[fiveowed]

well I have a vortec supercharger on it maybe the crank pulley is smaller than stock?

My stock belt didn't fit either after putting the smog delete on, I had to go to the next size lower(1/2 an inch shorter than stock) which the computer said was for a cobra. But The stock belt DID fit, but it was making the tensioner bottom out and made a lot of knocking noise, so I went with the next shortest belt .

yes that is whats happening I did run the car but the tensioner is all the way out the belt is touching it self

You have to go 1/2 inch shorter than stock, which is 104.5" I think.

No problem, I had the same issue and couldn't find a solution, thankfully, I work at a Ford dealer and a technician told me what size to get . I think the smog delete pulley is just a bit smaller than the actual smog pump pulley itself, which is kind of weird.
