Default 1998 323f drive belt

Hello all,
My car is a 1.8 323f (Lantis). I believe this is the BP engine. For a while, it has squealed for a few seconds at startup (when cold) but hadn't done this for a few days. Today it squealed for longer and within a few minutes of driving the alternator warning light had some on the dashboard. I quickly drove it back home because I knew this was likely the drive belt and as I pulled onto my road the power steering failed and the temp was reading high. Upon parking it up and checking under the bonnet I could see that the drive belt was completely shredded.

My questions are, which belt(s) do I need and does anyone have a diagram of the drive belt configuration? I have checked on eurocarparts and this has shown me 4 different belts of varying lengths, so I have no idea which is the correct length for the belt or belts which I need. Whenever I have done this job on my other cars, it has been one long serpentine belt but I assume from this that there are numerous belts. The car does have A/C. Am I correct in thinking that this would be one belt from crankshaft to PAS, and one to Alternator?
Thanks in advance!
