Hello there, Dave!
Alright, sounds like you're wrestling with that 2.8L in your S15. Let's get that serpentine belt sorted.
First things first, with the water pump directly above the crank and the fan spinning clockwise, that definitely narrows things down. Here's the correct routing for that setup.
1.) Start at the crank pulley: Slip the belt down low on the crank, at the bottom.
2.) Up to the water pump: Next, bring the belt up and around the water pump pulley.
3.) Around the back of the fan: Now, this might feel a little tricky. You'll need to loop the belt around the back of the fan pulley, which is actually the backside of the water pump pulley.
4.) Over to the power steering pump: With the belt secured on the water pump, head on over to the power steering pump and loop it around its pulley.
5.) Tensioner is last: Finally, the tensioner pulley is usually the last stop. There should be a tensioner mechanism that you can loosen slightly to slip the belt on, then tighten it back up to ensure proper tension.
Here's a tip: We have a Haynes manual for your specific S15, it has a diagram of the belt routing.
Click this link to be directed to our website where I have already pulled up the Haynes repair manual for you.
If you've done it right, you should have a nice, snug fit with the belt sitting snugly in all the pulleys. And there you have it, your serpentine belt routing puzzle solved.
