    I'm a newbithat's learning so please be patience..Last week, I changed the spark plugs, wires, dstributor cap along with oil/oil filter..No major problems and the car ran fine if not better afterwards..This past week, I've been topping off fluids and fixing minor problems in prep for smog..Yesterday went to autzone and got all the necessary belts for my car..Needed 4..smog pump, a/c, power steeing and alternator..

    Today, I took fan shroud and fan off so I could replace my worn/missing belts.Car had 2 belts when I bought it a month ago, alt & ps..Now I have the ps, alt & a/c belts on but the smog pump belt won't line up correctly.. I don't know if I have them in the correct order or not..The a/c pump is the only 1 running solely to the fan belt pulley..The alt belt runs from the harmonic balancer, around the fan belt pulley and then up/left to the alt..The ps belt runs from the harmonic balancer to the immediate right to the ps pump..Now the problem with the smog belt is that when it's ran from the harmonic balancer, around the fan belt pulley and up/right to the smog pump that it's really tense and causes the pump to angle downward..I don't know if it's supposed to be like that and gradually settle over time or if I routed the belts wrong..

    If someone has a picture/diagram of how the belts should be ran it would be greatly appreicated..
