hi. I'm getting closer on completing the engine. Does anyone have a pic on how the belts are ran for the alt, ac,  pwr steering and water pump?. It looks to me that the water pump is the first belt on the crank pulley(closet to rad) and it goes around the water pump and tensioner. The second belt is power steering and crank pulley and the last two is on the back of the crank pulley(close to engine) and its for the ac and alternator. Am I correct?

Also why is there two belts for the alt/ac?  My thoughts are one for the ac and one for the alt just like the steering and water pump but I have a dual pulley alternator.  Thanks in advance.

You are correct in your assumption...might be hard to see in this pic (440 engine but routing is the same).

Dual belt for AC is due to extra load from AC compressor clutch etc
