Default 1979 No air cond, no smog pump belt configuration

I have 1979 with No air cond, no smog pump need some help on my belt configuration. I see two groves on my alternator. Does anyone have the same configuration, if so would you please send me a pic of how the belts should be configured on the water pump, power steering and alternator.
Thanks

I pretty sure 79's didn't have 2 groove pulleys on them no matter what options they had. Mine with A/C and no smog pump only has one groove.

My 79 only has a single groove on the alt, but it was a factory AC car. Im not sure what the second groove would be for?

Thank you, that is what I was trying to figure out if the two groove I have was something done by the second owner, but I did notice it is a acdelco alternator

Looks like you are both correct see image from build doc, my config is upper left hand corner, only one groove in the alternator pulley, not sure why the one on mine had two, either first or second owner did something.
