All I see are routing guides for serpentine belts, my car has 2 regular belts. Is that common?

Good morning,

The power steering has only one belt from the crank pulley inner mounting to the pump.

The alternator and the A/C compressor are run by the other belt. I attached some pictures for you of the routing.

Thank you. I didn't understand that it was still called a serpentine belt being so short.

No problem.

The new belts use both sides of the belt. That classifies it as a serpentine belt.

The old belts were V belts that sat in a groove. The serpentines are flat.
