i'm pretty sure that diagram is for a fox. our belt goes over the tensioner not under.

smog delete belt routing 94-95

I used this routing with a 895k6 belt with good results with underdrive pullies.

Keep a spare belt with you, I have had one come off and eat itself. There isn't enough tension around the power steering pump using this method and belt size, if you have underdrive pulleys.

Once the belt starts to get broken in, if you pop your hood and turn the steering wheel you can see the belt walking on the power steering pump pulley.

SmokinGT50...would a shorter belt size eliminate the problem you mention?

Yes, but I can't find one. No one makes an 89K6 and the 88 was too short. I am considering putting the bypass pulley on and the stock belt back, for reliability reasons.
