If I remember correctly, when I did my swap I had to get a belt 35 1/2 inches long.

i ran a string around the pulleys lasy night and came up with 38"... Idk tho now that your saying 35 1/2

That measurement will vary depending on where your alternator is adjusted to. Though 3" is a big difference.
If you call your local Honda dealer they may be able to help with a non A/C belt size

when I used my h22 with non ac I went to the auto parts store and asked for a 90-93 DX alternator belt with no A/C.

Or you can take the string or a menswear measuring tape and figure out the length.

I used the menswear measuring tape and has yet to fail me.

Just make sure your alt is 5 or 6 rib. Also check which crank pulley you have. prelude has 6 ribs the accord has 5 rib..

Tell the parts counter guy the length and rib and they should find it for you.

I ran a measuring tape around the pullies. Also, the difference from maybe be that some altenator pullies may vary on aftermarket alternators. I had one so large once that I had to switch the pullies in order to fit.

when i did mine, i asked for a DX belt as well. but the DX belt was just a little bit to small. And when i did another one, on another h22 accord, the DX belt was a little bit to big. so it can vary.

just try to work on your car close to where your getting for belts.

guess and check

ok, i work at a honda dealer and we dont have any. must be ordered (monday). as stated before the alternator pulley and crank pulley are 6 ribbed. I ran a string around both pulleys and came up wit 38" so thats all i have at this point

this may or may not help you, my h22 with an accord crank pulley and only the alt, (no PS or AC) was a 37 inch long belt.

Assuming you got your shit running by now, how did you get that H22A pulley to fit without rubbing the chassis. I had to revert to my F22B pully, 5 ribs.

I installed the motor w/o the pulley then i just dropped that end down some to fit the pulley.
