V-belt removale 86 camaro

I just aquired a 86 Camaro that has multiple belts which i need to remove to get off replace the power steering pump. Thing is I'm unfirmiliar with multi belt engines. I figured out the alternator which was simple. Here the pictures. Red is highlighted where i think they are.

You found the adjuster bolts. Now you have to look for the pivots.

I'd try these:

Also, look on the back side of the compressor and pump as well. Sometimes there's additional adjuster/pivot bolts hidden back there.

When re-tensioning the belts, do the PS pump first and then the compressor. Don't pry on the PS pump reservoir.

I mean i only need the power steering belt of off.. but couldnt I just loosin the nut /adjuster on the PS pully and loosin her off instead taking the compressor belt off?

Also the adjuster and pivot bolts both need taken out

Yes you can do that, you won't be able to completely remove the belt from the other pulleys, but it will be out of your way to change the pump. Looking at the pic though, it looks like the compressor belt also rides on the power steering pulley, so it would have to be loosened as well.
