The assembly instruction manual (AIM) has diagrams, notes, torques, and original part numbers of everything added to the engine at St. Louis. AIM also shows belt routing and lists part numbers for the belts.

Typically, AC on the right, AIR right center, alternator and PS pump on the left.

Here's a shot of my 78', which should be close to your 79'. The Alt doesn't show here but it is on the left side along with the PS pump.

This might help more.
