I am however scrathing my head because the chain i am looking at says 116 links which is nowhere near the required number of links in the converter for one piece of chain. DOH
Chain length- 116x1/2"=58"= 147cm

42cm x2=84cm + 1/2 chainring 30cm + 1/2 cog 16cm + RD takeup <10cm = 140cm= remove 5 or 6 links.

You'll be fine.

I got a wacky result from the linked chain calculator as well.
