Default Help with 82 engine belts

Hello all. Can someone please confirm I have the order right on my engine belts. I broke the alternator which is the inside, so it makes sense to change them all.

Alternator - water pump and crank appears to be the inside, then ac - water pump and crank. The smaller top belt to the water puimp is next ,then last, although the last two do not cross, is crank and power steering. Is that right? The first two are about the same length, but which is actually the longer one. Obviously I can take one off and try to compare, but one is broken and most of it is on the side of the road somewhere. If someone can direct me to a diagram that would be great.

Thanks for your help.

you would be better off going to your local parts stores as they handle these situations every day...If too long or too short, they can immediately correct it rather the internet

The assembly instruction manual (AIM) has a page (maybe two) showing correct belt installation for all engines and option combinations available for your model year. It also lists the original GM part numbers for each belt.
