info request - belt size for 5KTQ hydraulic assist pump

[Kneale Brownson]

I don't understand, but the Rusky ETKA says it's 12.5X960 or 12.5X992 mm
depending upon whether you have A/C pump.  On my '87 5ktq, there's a Gates
9380 belt on the hydraulic pump.  Been there six or seven years.  The A/C,
which is driven off a different part of the same pulley, has  had its belt
cut off for about five years because the clutch seized and was smoking the
belt.  Maybe they used a different pulley when there was no A/C on the
car???  I know the Gates is not the proper belt but it's been working FOREVER.
