belt.. runs from the bottom of the crank to the air con pully, round the air con UP to the altinator pully, then round that and down to the lower ECCENTRIC TENSIONER... under and up over then up to the hp pump.. round the hp pump and under the upper spring tensioner and back to the top of the crank pully.

1735 may be a bit short, i need to do two of these but gonna try a 1740 belt

How did the belt shred itself? If it was by way of slipping across the pulleys in one direction rather than pure old age then consider changing the tensioner/rollers as generally speaking the cause of a belt slipping across the pulleys is one of them being out of alignment so it will do the same again if the pulleys are not replaced. The big incentive for you to take into consideration is that when a belt shreds it often slips underneath the bottom pulley causing the timing belt to jump and rather spoil your day, consider what's happened so far to be a learning experience/fortunate escape!

You will frequently find the dynamic tensioner is employed on the "slack" side of the circuit - that is, immediately before the crank pulley.

Many driven components can impart shock loads, the most appreciable in sharpness is the AC pump, followed by alternator, followed by steering/hydraulics. The design (layout) idea is to reduce belt whip or stretch between the pulling force (crankshaft) and the stubborn item. Moreover, the second aim is to lay out the components in order of shock harshness so the greater the impulse, the less belt length between this item and the pulling force (crank pulley).

If you approach the situation above with such principles, it pretty much builds itself into the order described by Paul.
