For those that have deactivated the secondary air pump with Star and removed the pump, what size serpentine belt are you running?

Probably the same size as everyone else. The AIR pump is electric; it is not belt driven.

Since we're on the subject; what's the advantage, if any to shut off SAI?

Why would you want to remove the evap system? Or secondary AIR for that matter? Secondary AIR is useless if you don't have cats, but I'm not sure that you will save enough weight to make it worth the trouble.

I think most people remove it when it breaks and throws a code instead of repairing it. It is also nice having less stuff around your engine.
