It's simple:For the power steering, you need to rotate the motor over until one of the holes in the pulley lets you access the bolt that the PS pump pivots on. Loosen that guy up, but don't remove.

Then loosen the nut on the front of the adjuster bracket. It'll be directly underneath the pump. Then you can loosen the adjuster bolt and as you loosen it, it will push the pump towards the motor and allow you to take the belt off.

The same principle applies to the alt. There's a bolt that goes through the bottom of it. Simply loosen the bolt and then the adjuster nut at the top and you can start loosening the adjuster bolt.

The A/C has an idler pulley on the front of the motor. Loosen the nut on the front of the pulley and then start loosening the adjuster bolt for it.

Its pretty self explanitory, once your start loosening it up like hijacker said, you'll notice how each device will be able to rotate about its bracket. After that push it it in all the way and the belts should be completly loose. GL
