Dont need to remove the AC. it iS the same belt with the ALT. theres a tensioner u just losen from the top of the motor bay near the oil dipstic. it looks liek a long bolt just going down to no where. turn that till the belt gets loose enough to take off. if its nto getten loose...turn it the other way.
