Default Gatorback Belts? Correct Part number?

Ok, so are the Goodyear gatorbacks now Continental elite poly v belts?
If so does anyone know the correct part number for these belts for an '01 Blazer with A/C? The belt I have says it's 95.585 inches I can't seem to find a chart anywhere to make sure I get the correct one online since no one sells them locally.

After I replaced my bad alternator, I put a new Gates brand on it & it was nice & quiet until yesterday. Squeaking like crazy now. Thankfully it's not as bad as the bad alternator bearing was, but I'm sick of driving a noisy vehicle.

It should still be the same part numbers, since those did not change, the only thing that changed was the "goodyear gatorback" to "continental elite"

so if you go to the parts store and tell them you need a belt for your year and tell them it has AC, you should get the correct belt if you ask for the continental.

No one carries Continental around here. I was trying to find a part number to order online. I found the summit racing website where I could search by length. It looks like there are a few of them that would potentially work based on length between 95 & 96 inches, so I chose the size that is in the middle & is the same length as the Gates brand that I have on it.

This is the one I ended up ordering. Amazon would only tell me the one for no A/C works, so don't believe Amazon.
