    The AC belt is the tricky one. It is adjusted with shims between the two halves of the crank shaft pulley. When you remove the six 10mm bolts from the crank shaft pulley, the extra shims (circular) will drop down. Slide off the front half of the pulley and add shims to loosen (ie: new AC belt) or remove shims to tighten. Reinstall the six bolts and check AC belt tigthness. This is a trial and error process. As you tighten the six 10mm bolts, keep indexing the crank shaft around with a socket and racket on the center crank shaft pulley bolt (rachet set to tighten). If you don't, the belt will get pinched between the two halves of the pulley. You can figure out the alternator belts and power steering belt. jp
