Replacing ac belt on 2g?

My gf's ac belt broke and I'm in the middle of replacing it but I'm having an issue. I'm only seeing two pulley's and the new belt I bought is too big for those two pulley's. It looks like there should be a third pulley somewhere but I'm just not seeing it. Can someone give me a diagram or tell me what I'm missing here? I would appreciate it greatly.

First of all your going to have problems if you don't specify.

Is it a 4G63, 4G63-T, 420A? We need to know which engine it is before we can give you an accurate answer.

Is it a 6 Bolt or 7 Bolt?

Specify, then you will have your answer.

Thanks I was missing the crank pulley. Damn I do feel like a noob.

Haha, its all good man. We all have our off days. Now just make sure you check the tension a few times after running a bit. You don't want to have to do this again. By the way, how did the old belt look?

It broke for a reason, wether its an old belt, loose pulley or whatnot. Just make sure you do everything to verify its right.

Good Luck.

The a/c belt on my 97' GSX looks nearly impossible for my hands to get down there and loosen the tensioner. I was going to replace all my belts when I got the car, but just said screw it and replaced the alt + p/s belt and called it a day lmao.
