I hope that you can read the size on the back of the belt. Do not deviate from the required belt. If the parts guy tells you that a slightly shorter or longer belt will work go else where. In 92 or 93 the the auto manufacturer of the cars I worked on changed their A/C tensioner slightly but no one made the change in the parts system for the new belt. The new belt was only 2 or 3 MM longer but no one in the field knew this. This difference was found out when A/C compressors started failing after a warranty (noise) belt replacement. It does not take much increase in load to kill a bearing in one of the rotating items on your engine.
