Default Changing Belt Need advice ASAP

Ok so the routing sticker for drive belt is not present.. And Haynes manual is wrong! Anyone have a picture of how it is supposed to be routed on the 4.6? Mine is a 2000 GT and this is really making me wonder WTF.

Please help!

Whats wrong with the Haynes manual? They're usually pretty good.

Unless I am missing something the routing is being shown wrong in the manual... Missing a pulley it appears in the book.

hey a really good trick is , smooth with smooth , ribbed with ribbed. put the smooth end of the belt on the smooth pullies. put the ribbed side on the ribbed pullies. if you can work it like that it will always be correct
