There should be a picture of the belt routing on the hood or on the top of
the radiator support. All you'll need is a 5/8" wrench to move the idler
pulley towards the driver-side to loosen the belt and then replace the belt
by following the routing diagram. Watch your fingers though...when you
remove the belt, the idler pulley will spring tot eh passenger side very
quickly (spring loaded) so ease it over to that side once the belt is
removed (you can move it over one you slip the belt off of any one of the
other pulleys).

Can anyone who has a 97+FSM for a 5.2-318 scan in how replace the serpintine
belt?
I bought a new belt couple of weeks ago, but have yet to install it...
