61.5 inch belt was the ticket.
It squeals if you punch it HARD from basically 10 mph or under.
It squeals a lot when you turn.
It's most likely the fact that the one pulling isn't spinning good and it's sticking. Going to try some belt dressing tomorrow.

Estimated cost...

9 dollars for cut off wheel and mandrel
16.99 for belt
?? for belt dressing
Misc ?!

I dunno. Maybe like 30 dollars total. I'll most likely never gain that back, but I felt like I learned something about cars and I like the idea that all that a/c crap is no longer in my car.

Had to put more quick steel on the radiator because we accidentally jammed the a/c radiator into it. 0_o
