there are delete pulleys available as well, but what you can do is cut the belt and place it around the pulleys you want to run and make a mark on it or cut it again. take the belt to the parts store and have them match one up to your new length

You can use the cut your old belt way, you could also use a flexible tape measure that seamstresses, or clothing/fabric stores use. When you route it around your pulleys, be sure to have someone pull up on the tensioner to be in the normal position, or your reading will be too long. A portion of the part# on a belt is the overall length measurement.
