Hooking up belts

Hello everyone,

I wanted to know how to hook the belts back up to my 305 I swapped into my Firebird. I'm pretty sure it's an LG4 engine since I got it from a guy with a 1984 El Camino doing an LS swap. I should've took some pictures before I took it apart and painted it ,but it'd be great if anyone had a picture of a setup like this I can reference.

-Ryan

And before you crank it up for the first time, get that Triangle Of Death off the top of your carb, lest it do what it does to everybody else: catch fire, melt, and drip molten plastic gook into all the metering passages of the carb, ruining it forever and destroying the hood. Same for the crappy pressurized rubber fuel line. Except that the rubber line will burn THE WHOLE CAR down totally TO THE GROUND.
