How do I change belts on 84?
How do I change the power steering and AC belts on my 84 Z28? I just replaced the power steering pulley...hope I don't have to take that off again.

The brackets have slots on some of the mount bolts, and the accessory (alternator, PS pump, AC compressor, etc.) pivots on others. Loosen them up, push the accessory toward the center of the engine. Remove the belts, install the new ones. Pull the accessory away from the center of the engine to put tension on the belts (some, like the AC compressor, have a square hole that you can put a 1/2" drive handle on it to hold the tension), tighten the slotted bolts first, make sure all mount bolts are tight when you're done.
