What are the correct p/n and size alternator and PS belts for a 440 Bird ?

I'm replacing both the PS and alternator belts on the bird which is a 440-4.   My current power steering belt is #2951202 (44") and the alternator belt is a replacement Gates XL11A1130 (45").  Both current belts fit proper but are worn with cracks.

I've noticed that the PS belt #2951202 (44") list for a 383/440 with a/c and a non-ac 440 uses a 42.5" belt.   I can see that the 42.5" belt will never fit.

Questions:

1) Is the 2951202 correct and if so why for a non-a/c car

2) A replacement alternator 440 non a/c calls for #2806216 (46").  But that will be to long as my current Gates is 45" and fits perfect.

any help will be appreciated, thanks

Update:  disregard the 2nd question in reference to the Alternator belt 2806212 as this is correct.  Stupid me was looking at the wrong bolt hole on the alternator for the lower arm adjustment bracket   :brickwall:

But I am still curious about the PS belt 2951202 (44") as the correct size since it list for 383/440 with air.   The other belt list is the 3419000 (42.5") non air and that's a huge difference and is way to short.
