Ac delete pulley belt question

Hey guys. I'm wondering if swapping to an ac delete pulley , does it alter the belt length or does it sit exactly where stock does and use the same belt ?

To answer my question :
the ac delete pulley IS about 3-4mm smaller but it looks like my tensioner picked up the extra slack but It definitely had a little extra room when putting back on the belt. I will post back soon as roads allow for a test drive to make sure there 0 belt slip.
I am running a sprintex with a 60mm pulley , 2% crank and gpr tensioner and a 1380mm belt..
