Default New Belt After Alternator Upgrade

Hey gang,
I have a particular question that after doing some searching cannot get a clear answer to. My alternator and battery i my 98 sport dumped out on me so I figured it would be a great time to upgrade. So I ordered a 136A alternator from rock auto and get to work. i was aware of the clearance issues, and got those taken care of. I also up graded all my main cable sand grounds as well as adding a fuse. The part I need help with is the serpentine belt, it is now too long. Is there a away to find out what belt i need to go to in order to make this work?

yeah, get one 1/2" or 1" shorter.......

or route your old one, cut it, and then measure how much longer it needs to be, then find one that length.

May have to go to NAPA to find someone who knows how to look them up by length instead of application only
