Hi, I need a fan belt diagram for my 1984 El Camino... I removed the belts only to discover the diagram is relatively non-existent. Does anyone know how fan belts go on the 305 V8 engine?

The position and function of the fuses is normally marked on the inside of the fuse box cover and also in the owner's handbook. If you are looking for a particular blown fuse, work your way through the fuses looking for a blown one. It is not difficult.
I've never seen a fuse block that was bad enough to need replacement. generally speaking, one or a few connections may be bad or it may need to be taken apart and cleaned. At worst, you may need to re-route a few of the fuses. That can be done by splicing into the appropriate wires and running them to a smaller fuse block (you can usually get one at a marine supply house). The same but less neat approach is to just use an inline fuse for each and label them so you know what they serve. Most important is to use the proper gauge wire and the correct amp fuse (style does not matter..only amp rating) Before buying it though, make sure you know what is working and what's not. Blaming a fuse box for a major problem with an important system could cause you major headaches later. Look for wire splices and things that look non factory. People can mess things up worse than the car can do to itself. As far as replacing one, you'd probably have a difficult time just finding one. then, cutting it out of the donor vehicle and re-wiring will likely not be terrible but is time consuming and you'd need to write down and diagram everything very accurately to get it back together without problems. Check before believing this but I'm pretty sure chevelle harness is the same as a 'camino.
No - your belt cannot be replaced without taking the fan off. More than likely, you also have multiple belts. You will have a 1/2 inch spot on most of the plates to tighten each individual component. Look for a place to attach a 1/2 inch breaker bar/ratchet next to the alternator, steering pump, smug pump, etc. These should all be v-belts on a 1984, not a true serpentine.
