Just got my vehicle running again, after several years. I want to bypass the smog pump and the A/C compressor. I ordered the A/C bypass pulley and have already taken of the smog pump. What size (length) belt will I need for my 351W?

Good morning,

There is no option for no smog pump in any of the parts catalogs.

You will need to do this with trial by error. that means you will need to look at several smaller belts until you find one that will fit correctly with the correct tension.

That is the way shops do it as well.
