Main pulley failure - questions

To the dealer I will go, to the dealer I will go, hi-ho-the-merry-oh, to the dealer I will go.

Well, driving down the highway the battery light and the handbrake light goes on. So I think, "crap there goes the alternator, again. I had it changed less than a year ago."

Well it wasn't the alternator. The main pulley, the one that comes off the crankshaft slid over about a quarter of an inch, towards the block, on it's seat. Looking down the centerline of the main pulley and tentioner it's quite easy to see that it's moved. It destroyed the main belt, causing the alternator to stop turning, which caused the lights. It also took out 3/4 of the power steering belt.

My question is: what does that main drive? I know it drives the alternator and the AC compressor. What about the water pump?

Anyone have the snaking diagram or know what else it may drive?

BTW, my 6/160 warranty has now payed for itself! And even more so... New crank seal!
