What size serpentine belt does a factory Ford 5.0 with power steering and A/C use?

According to the diagram, the factory 5.0 with P/S and A/C uses a 91-inch belt.

What belt length is needed to bypass the smog pump on a 5.0 with A/C and P/S?

The diagram specifies an 84.5-inch belt when bypassing the smog pump while keeping A/C and P/S.

Which pulleys does the belt route around in the smog pump bypass configuration?

In the bypass diagram, the belt routes around the alternator (ALT), A/C compressor, water pump (WP), power steering pump (P/S), and crankshaft (CS), skipping the smog pump (S/P) pulley.

This document is a hand-drawn/computer-drawn serpentine belt routing schematic showing two accessory drive belt configurations for a Ford 5.0 engine. The top diagram, labeled "Factory 5.0 with P/S & A/C," shows the stock routing using a 91-inch belt around all pulleys: alternator (ALT), air conditioning compressor (A/C), water pump (WP), smog pump (S/P), power steering pump (P/S), and crankshaft (CS), with the belt tensioner shown at the top. The bottom diagram, labeled "Bypassing the smog pump with A/C & P/S," shows an alternate routing using a shorter 84.5-inch belt that skips the smog pump pulley entirely while retaining the alternator, A/C compressor, water pump, power steering pump, and crankshaft. A reader can learn the correct belt path for both the factory configuration and the smog-pump-delete configuration, and the belt lengths required for each (91" stock vs. 84.5" for the bypass). No year, model, part numbers, or torque values are stated in the document itself; the only engine reference is "5.0." The scan was uploaded to a 1996 Ford Bronco gallery, which is consistent with a 5.0L V8 application.
