Does anybody have the right belt size to use with the power steering and deleted a/c? Since my fmic install when i snapped the condenser's line and let the gas out, I have not had the a/c system working. I'm not sure if i'll fix it or delete it for good but since its getting cold and i'm not gonna need it till next year....Just figured i'd try saving the weight and going to the track(nov 17) for the last time this year/season and seeing if there is any improvements(there should be--minus 80 lbs worth of non essentials for racing)

TIA later

I hate going to the dealer cause they always look at me like I'm crazy only to find that I was right....clueless about rotaries. I was hoping to get the size but I guess I'll order the belt from mazdatrix

thanx
