Provided all other pullies are stock and you're not bypassing the a/c (if installed) then yes, same belt.
I'll put holes in him!!

Inspect the current belt.
cracks in the belt running ACROSS it are normal, and acceptable, as long as the cracks aren't all even with each other. If a crack runs across one rib, then there is another crack on the next rib, but 1/4 apart, etc, then its fine.
when there is a single line across all the ribs it is time to replace.
If the belt has cracks running WITH the ribs, replace it
If the belts edges are worn, frayed, or torn, replace it.
Get a GATORBACK brand, if you get the chance.

Out of curiosity, why do you recommend Gatorback? I found two potential part numbers: 4060715 and 4060720. The last three digits are the length of the belt in inches to one decimal place, so 71.5" and 72" respectively. Which one is the right one?

Gatorbacks basically last longer before you have squealing and whatnot because of their design. Goodyear is good at their belts and hoses, go with the gatorback.
And the 715 belt is what you need.

That's what I was thinking too. Confusing that the Advanced Auto website has the 720 listed on there as well.
