Is it easy to replace my AC serpentine belt for my 96 Infiniti I30? Do I loosen it from under my car?

It would be better to replace both belts - P/S Pump and Alternator/AC belts. Make sure you loosen the locknut of each adjuster before turning the adjustment bolt.

For the alternator/AC pulley, loosen the locknut on the Idler Pulley (center of pulley) and then turn the adjuster to loosen the belt.

For the P/S Pump pulley, loosen the locknut (close to the top) then turn the adjuster (head at the bottom) to loosen the belt.
