to mess with Belt routing all you need is a long piece of string. keep in mind the crank rotates clockwise and the water pump is counter clockwise, the alternator is clockwise. I found all this on Google. find the belt routing for the year and make the motor came out of and go from there. I tried at least 5 different belts until I found the correct length. It helps to have a second person to move the tensioner to half way position while messing with the rope or string.
