If not frayed and look good, just run em, you could use a belt dressing on them if you can clean off the excess. If the machine sat for a few years they may have a "'set"' in them, but that will come out in use.

The idler shaft is 2" further away from the motor shaft on a Mark VII.
The poly-v belt, though narrower, will work.
