Best bet is to go to parts house and see if they can pull up a diagram of the serpentine belt pathway. Possibly NAPA parts may have this.
Look ontop the radiator front middle. there should be a diagram sticker there.
There is a diagram on the hood, to remove the belt look to the left behind the strut tower. There is a tentioner there and you release the tention by moving it with a wrench or socket.

my 98 continental has a belt diagram showing the way to put the belt on. you will want to remove the radiator resivior to gain access to the belt. after following the diagram, get the belt lined up, and on all the ribbed polleys. the one smooth pulley is the idler pulley, saving that for last makes this job alot easier. hope this helps
