This is GM 2.5L engine. My art isn't very good. The belt should be on passenger side of engine. This is serpentine belt. Sometmes there is a decal under the hood that shows the belt routing.
There should be a diagram of the belt routing on the engine near the belt, the radiator support, or the hood. If not, make sure you draw a diagram of the belt and pulleys before you remove it. There is a spring loaded tensioner that keeps the belt tight. You move the tensioner away from the belt to release the tension while removing the belt. Install is the reverse procedure.
no,15 mil.wrench to release the tensioner ,the bolt is left hand thread,so it won't unscrew when you release the tension on the belt. If there is no diagram on the rad. support of the belt routing you may want to draw a "map " of the belt routing just to be safe.
Click on the following direct Link. It has the Serpentine Belt Diagrams that you will need for your specific engine size and options (AC/No AC...etc).
Standard Rules to Removal the Serpentine Belt with a Tensioner: 1. Find the Tensioner(s). (See Diagrams on Link) 2. Using a Serpentine Belt Tensioner Tool, Or Wrench OR Ratchet, Rotate/Move the Tensioner USING THE AVAILABLE NUT (on the Pulley or Arm Base) OR the OPENING (3/8ths or 1/2 inch square opening) rotating it\moving it away from contact with the belt and towards the area where the belt is not in contact with the Tensioner Pulley. The Tensioner is spring loaded, and is hard to rotate/move. 3. Remove the loosened belt off one of the other more easily accessed Pulleys. Standard Rules for Installing the Serpentine Belt with Tensioners: a. Pick a Pulley that is most easily accessed. This will usually be on top. This will be the last Pulley that the belt will go on. b. Using the Diagram: Install the new Serpentine Belt on the remainder of the Pulleys....over, under, left right. c. Using a Serpentine Belt Tensioner Tool or Wrench or Ratchet Tool: Rotate/Move the Tensioner Pulley/Arm "away" from Belt contact area on the Tensioner. This spring is pretty hard and with a new belt, it will be even harder to install. Rotate/Move this to as-close to the maximum allowed inorder to have enough slack in the belt to get it up and over the last pulley. d. Using your other hand - Pull the Belt up and over the Last remaining Pulley. e. Before releasing the pressure on the Tensioner, visually inspect the remainder Pulleys and the Belts' Positioning on them

Serpentine Belt routing diagram
You will need a ratchet and a strong friend. Put the ratchet on the
bolt on the pulley that moves. You will know which one it is because
when you turn it the belts wll loosen and tighten on the pulley. have
some one hold the ratchet down so you can remove the belt from the
pulley... pull it off.
Remember how it came off to put it back on. Once
you pull the belt off you can let the ratchet go. Put the belt parallel
with the pulley and pull the ratchet down. When it loosens the pulleys
slide the belt on and let the ratchet go. Remove ratchet. Don't start
the car but tap the key forward 3 to 4 times to make sure the belt is
on track.
Then start it up!

Hope helped with this; remember rated this help. Good luck.
There should be a factory diagram at the front of the radiator top plate near the passenger side. That's where it is on mine, and it shows with and without AC. I hope that helps
