Default serpentine belt length

looking to remove my power steering (pump is shot and no money to fix) and A/C ( I live in Oregon and just don't need it) and was wondering if anyone else has done this and if so what length is the shorter serpentine belt?

Dorman makes a compressor delete bracket, and you use the OEM belt size. Power steering delete, not so easy. P/S was standard equipment, so you'll need to route a string around the pulleys, just like the belt is routed, and measure the string to determine belt length. Eliminating the P/S pump will require some serious effort to steer the vehicle. Reducing caster would help a little.
