These came with the engine. Does the 430 have 2 belts. Can anybody give me info on my 2 belts. What's the big one for? And the small one?

 Not any experience with a 430, but the manifold on the left should be for the driver side. I think you can then deduce which side the other one goes on . lol

Let's start with some detective work :icon_scratch:

 #1 looks to be the upper alternator bracket, #2 looks to be a power steering pump pulley and #3 looks to be the pulley for the smog pump pictured in post 49.

 The number of belts is going to depend upon the accessories on the engine. You definitely have an alternator and the smog pump. Is there power steering ?
