i searched and couldn't find anyone that has bypassed the power steering pump, any who, the length belt i used with all stock pulleys is 80.5"

for reference the stock belt length is 90"

i routed the belt over the water pump pulley to the alternator pulley under the tensioner pulley and over to the a/c comp pulley then straight down to the crank pulley

an 81.5" belt was too long and an 80" belt was too short

i'll post a pic if need be, just a little FYI if others were looking to do the same thing, could be useful for those with manual racks or power steering removed
 
There are threads with people bypassing the power steering pump only. I bypassed mine at one of the shootouts one year, but it was a bit of a pain to do at the track and then undo when it was time to leave. I can't remember what length belt I used, but I think I found the info on this site.

Still good info to have in another place.
