305 v8 for 82 trans am (belts order)
Gents....I have an 82 TA with a carb 305. No belts were on it so i need to know which order they need to be installed in and how they are routed. Any help is appreciated. I bought 3 duralast belts so far...not sure if im missing a 4th? Thanks.

There are 4.
Bottom is AC. Goes over crank, PS, & AC.
Next is PS. Goes over crank & PS; maybe WP, if that pulley has 3 grooves. Be REAL CAREFUL how you tighten it; it's easy to damage the PS reservoir by prying on it, and once distorted, it's impossible to stop the leeeeeeeeeeks. There are 4 hardwares on it: the pivot nut on top, the 2 adj bolts you can see, and a nut on the rear. Make sure they're all loose before trying to tighten.

Then, crank, WP, & alt.
Last, WP & AIR pump.
