Mike, I'm looking in my Parts and illustration catalog CD, so far I've found nothing to help you
. If I do find something I'll get to you. In the meantime take a look in older postings. There's one dated July 4th "What belt"? posted by Christen. He included a colored diagram for his belt configuration. He also has a 71 LS5.

Unfortunately, Christian has deleted the pics he posted, with the belt routing! Maybe you could P/M him, and get the info.
Cookie, the parts manual only has the belt routing for 77-82 cars...

Found this pic and a corresponding thread over on CF. The belt closest to the block is missing because he says he's waiting for the idler pulley to arrive. I believe some don't even use an idler, you gotta pull the pulley off to get the belt on. Hard to see in the pic but there ARE 3 grooves on the crank pulley. Owner of this says the forward belt goes around the crank, water pump, AC, AND AIR pump. Mike 
I have a 74 bb, A/C, PS & Air, but no air pump (previous owner removed it).
Take a look at this thread. http://www.c3vr.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=63057&KW=missing+belt&PID=210939#210939
I also drew my belts configuration back then (again, without the air pump). http://www.C3VR.com/member_uploads/6401_6500/6425/belts.JPG
