I guess you could measure it. I believe that car has a spring loaded belt tensioner which will give you some latitude so you don't have to get the belt length exactly correct. You could have someone hold the tensioner about midway through it's travel, then thread a piece of cord around the pulleys where the belt will have to go and measure that length.

One additional thought then, you could consider buying a new serpentine belt setup. There are some nice billet installs that could be quite tasty. Good luck!
