If you're unsure about the belt routing, take a pic with your phone. Take a few if it helps. They'll be right there with you then. The hardest part is getting the crank bolt broken loose. I've heard of people having issues with it. I got mine with just a breaker bar so I guess I'm lucky.

The crank bolt was a pain to get off for me. Couldnt get it off with just a breaker bar. I just went to a local hardware store and rented a good compressor and an impact wrench. That got it no problem.

got a impact wrench and breaker bar so other then the crank bolt it should be a smooth day? how long is the install?

Takes about 2 hours. You will taking your time not to scratch things up. You have to remove the fan and shroud. The belt can be lifted off and left mostly inplace during removal and install. I just lifted it over one pully to get enough slack to remove the crank pully. You might need a small puller to remove the OEM pully. I used a small 3 point puller. It worked fine for me. Don't forget some sealant on the key.!

Took me about 45 minutes and I've never done one before. A good impact and compressor that can exceed 130 ft/lbs is pretty much required. But otherwise it's very straight forward with TB's write-up in hand.
