Cannot route serpentine belt correctly for a 1998 Ford Taurus 3.0. Do you have a diagram I can see?

SOURCE: belt routing diagram 98 zx2 2.0

1) Start with the alternator.
2) Forward to the smooth idler
3) Forward to power steering
4) Down to A/C compressor
5) Back to crank pulley
6) Forward around tensioner
7) Back glancing off of water pump
8) Back glancing off of ribbed idler
9) Up around alternator (where you started)
Good luck!
