1987 Serpentine belt AC removed-What size?
Anyone know what size serpentine belt is needed to use if I I got rid of the AC compressor on the car? It's making all kinds of noise and it's driving me crazy and I never use it anyway. If you have done this let me know the search feature isn't working right now.

Same size - you'll need an "AC Delete Pully." Your best bet is a boneyard.
The AC Delete Pully is an idler pully the same size as the compressor pully, with a bracket that puts it in the same place. They're getting rare at the dealerships (unless you happen on one NOS - New Old Stock.)
If you find one in a boneyard, you'll probably want to replace the bearing. Timken #203FF will serve, you can change it in about three minutes with a bench vice and a couple of sockets. Bearing cost about six bucks, last time I got one (I had the same problem in my 88. Catch is, I do like having aircon - I'm a cold-weather critter.)
