Someone with a 3G please answer this...

Okay, I'll try again. Yesterday I changed my alternator. I thought I paid attention to which way the drive belt was routed. I intended to double check the manual or find the sticker underneath the hood. Neither source has any info. I put the belt back the way I thought it should go. I debated on changing my belt too. 90,000 miles on it. No cracks to speak of, but it seems a little brittle. I put some belt conditioner on it and started it up. Seems fine, but the pulley that has the spring tension was all shiny before the job and now has some of the material from the outside of the belt caked on it. Is that from me putting the belt conditioner on it, or is the belt too tight or something? Voltage seems to be right and it's not squealing. I just don't want to damage the belt. So there's the back story.
Also, here is a scan of the way I routed the belt. Can someone please look at their car an tell me if I routed it right? Thank you in advance[IMG][/IMG]
