Just one quick piece of advice.  When changing your belts as normal
maintenance, always put the old belts under your seat or some place on your
car.  That way you'll always have a spare that fits.  May not be brand new,
but serviceable and get you to where  you need to be.

Its a new 2.1 in a mostly 1.9 configuration.

We have a plan in motion now though, and expect to be on the rooad tonight.

One question though:
I found a new belt in my trunk that's a contitech avx13.  Is this the
correct belt for a 1.9?  I don't have any packaging for it.
