Typically, the belt size to bypass the A/C compressor on this vehicle is around 81 to 83 inches in length. Common part numbers for such a belt include:

Dayco 5060810 (81 inches)
Gates K060810 (81 inches)

I would try to measure the belt yourself to help confirm the length. Also, you might need to remove the compressor so the belt doesn't contact the compressor pulley. Here is a video to help you remove the refrigerant before you begin.
