Do you have a stock hood? If so, check it for a diagram - I have a 97 Cobra, with a stock hood, and it has a diagram on how to route the belt.

use a 3/8" drive ratchet in #7 (tensioner) to get tension off the belt so you can get it off. After the new belt is routed on almost all of the pullies use the tensioner again get it over a remaining pulley.

Just make sure it is seated correctly on all the pulleys before firing it back up.

Doesn't make much sense why they would cut your new belt, unless they weren't able to move the tensioner.
Quite douchey.
