Diagram of serpitine belt

If you are trying to bypass the AC pump or you are installing the belt on a non AC equipped model you will need to get the correct belt for the models equipped without AC (it will be shorter in length)
Belt Diagram listed below:

place large ratchet on gray tensioner and pull it until tension releases from belt

CHECK TO SEE IF THERE IS A STICKER ON THE FRAME RAIL OVER THE FRONT OF THE RADIATOR, UNDER THE HOOD! MOST CARS HAVE ONE SHOWING THE DIAGRAM OF THE SERPENTINE BELT, UNDER THE HOOD SOMEWHERE

Look around the radiator mount or on the hood for the diagram

click on the link and find you engine and select the belt routing diagram

go to yahoo do a search there

if there is not a sticker under the hood, it will also have a diagram in the manual. to relieve the tension idler there is an indenttion in the front of the arm. you put a 3/8 rachet into the end and turn it to move the idler this is a spring belt tension. i have seen people pull tug and use screwdrivers trying to get them on. and never notice the rachet hole. flat to flat and groove to groove is basic, and should work. however a chevy blazer belt can be put on perfectly two different ways. but one way the belt will come out about 3/4inch too long.

There should be a diagram on the front rail ..where you hood latches....unless someone has removed it...if it has been removed ..i'll try to find the diagram for it...i hope this helps...Keith
