OK, one doesn't need a belt routing diagram to reinstall a new belt.
Just route the belt so that one by one you put the ribbed part of the belt up against the ribbed pulleys, and the smooth part of hte belt up against the smooth pulleys. Do this until one arrives at the tensioner and release tension with a breaker bar to put the belt on the final tensioner pulley.
Check that the tensioner has enough spring load for the belt to maintain the right friction against all of the serpentine pulleys.
