There are a couple of different setups as I remember, ie which belt goes on first, but I think the order is, power steering first, then alternator/water pump, and lastly AC. If that is true on your car, then you will have to take off the AC belt first, it uses a pully type tensioner on the back of the cylinder head. Then loosen the alternator pivot bolt and the tensioner, then lift up on the alternator and pull the bolts off. Installation is the opposite, but don't over tension the belts. You should always be able to flex them about a half inch with a reasonable thumb pressure.
Replacing the belts is not hard, but it is a bit awkward. Helps if you can get someone under the car to keep the belts on the lower pulley while you fiddle with the upper pulleys.
