I've seen a belt diagram on this forum before but I can't find it. Does anybody have it or could you describe to me how to go about changing the alternator belt...

The alternator belt is the rear belt, so you have to remove all three belts to remove the alternator belt.

well no, not exactly....

the power steering is powered essentially by the crank, which pumps the oil as well in the unit around it by just turning. The oil pump has no belt, it is crank powered. So your PS belt is ONLY for PS, the PS pump does not power or turn the oil pump
