ABC Delete: Power Steering Pump Belt

After deleting an ABC/PS unit and installing an ML500/S500 PS pump what exactly is the fitment calling for in a drive belt ? Even though the replacement pump "works" on an M273 engine I haven't heard anyone here yet say they re- used the R230 original ABC/PS pump belt.
So for those who have gone thru the swap, please shed some light on your belt use if you would be so kind to share .
Thanks for any replies

I used the standard length belt. Just replaced with new for old.

Even though the use of an alternate M113 chassis PS pump, would tend to be a straight fit it's always nice to have a confirmation of fitment.
Sometimes things on MB don't always go as expected. I have first hand knowledge of not being aware of correct replacement part fitment on our R230.
Even though the ask may seem benign, it never hurts to ask as many questions as possible.
Thanks for the reply Keith Noon
