I guess the gates K060355 would fit too at 35.56"/903mm.
When I install new belts I often have to back the tensioner bolt off all the way and push the alternator til the wiring is squished past the intake manifold.
Just wanted to say things to everyone in this post. The AC Compressor seized up and broke the serpentine belt and wasn't drive able. I was able to go to the local auto parts store, pick up the K060355 belt and bypass the compressor completely, allowing me a little bit of time before I need to get that replaced!

The correct belt for Mirage with A/C has 6 ribs and a length of 1240mm.
Some makers offer a length of 1238mm which fits just as good.
Gates part: 6PK 1238
Contitech part: 6PK1240
For cars without A/C the belt also has 6 ribs but a length of 906mm.
Contitech part: 6PK906
Hi all, I’m going to try going this route because my AC has seized as well. Is it confirmed that the Contitech part: 6PK906 is the correct one?
I'm bumping/replying to this thread because my (2nd) compressor is already failing. I'm not about to drop another $1k on this car. I'd rather not have AC.
Has anyone figured out the part number for the shorter belt?
Edit: I replied to the quote before reading the rest of the thread. Got the correct part.
I found the Gates part number from earlier in the thread. Hopefully when I pick it up today it doesn’t have dry rot.
A reminder. The FSM says:
The belt for a Mirage with A/C is size 6PK1240 (6 ribs at a length of 1240mm)
The belt for a no-A/C Mirage is size 6PK906 (6 ribs at a length of 906mm)
Beware: In non-metric countries (North-Korea, Liberia, USA) belt length is measured differently, and the size they quote is not by the same method as internationally standardized.
