Might be an inbetween year, they switched the tensioner setup around between 1991 and 1994. Looking at NAPA, the belts are the same for 1991 and 1994. Maybe you got the wrong belt?

With AC: 25060870 or 6k870
Without AC: 25060806 or 6k806

Same belt, same engine? Heh, something's not right! I'd start with the routing.

nah, bought a short block and put everything on.

There's gotta be something missing. Either routing or maybe a pulley isn't in the right spot or... something? Can you post up some pictures to give us an idea what you're dealing with?

I was going to suggest the tensioner too, I almost did it but fortunately we have two GEN1's and only one was apart.
Love that paint job! Next summer I plan to pull and rebuild a Gen1 engine just so I can have one with NO gasket leaks - and painted!

just noticed the oil filter location is female on the block. anybody ever see this ? and with the engine installed there is no room for the filter. gotta get the pic off my phone.

There is supposed to be a year specific 90 degree oil filter adapter there. It is probably still in your old engine.

sooo, i happen to buy the wrong part here friends. special order, no return. upon further research i'm finding 2 diff part numbers. now if anyone can confirm ( 3L2Z-6881-BA or 1L2E-6884-BD ) or better yet if anybody has it i'll be more than happy to buy.

I see rockauto sells o rings and gaskets for the adapter, but no adapters.

However, this may help

The first post says he has a complete engine to part out.
