Re: Question

Yes it matters. Keep the stock belt routing. Water pumps and other accessories only work when they are spun in a certain direction. Spin it backwards and it may not function correctly.

There should be a sticker under your hood with the factory belt routing.

Re: Question

You have V-belts. Looks like you need 2 with the accessories you have right now. Find a belt that fits and call it done.
