Raw Water pump belt just around Crank?

[flargin]

getting last pieces together on my 89 Bravo 1 7.4L. Raw water.

Looking in the service manual, I am unable to see the picture clearly enough to confirm... my question is this.

Can you get/is there a belt that runs over the crank and water pump for raw water pump? I have the belt, and previous pictures, with the belt over just the crank.. so I am sure it is like it was...

But would it not be easier to have it run over both? Can it be done? or since the crank pulley is smaller, is that where the problems are.. (this is what I figure).

Do the pulleys line up? Crank, engine water pump and raw water pump.

I'd stay with crank pulley only. That way if your re-circ pump locks up and kills the belt your raw water pump is still pumping to limp you back.
