Folks

This is a continuation of my request as to how to replace the belts on my 76 Eleganze ll with a 455 engine.

I have not quite gotten the answers I would like to make me comfortable. I have decided to try to them change myself and have received three belts from Applied GMC. This is progress as now I know that there are 3 belts. These are labeled ALT, A/C and P/S. I am sure that I can find these items, but what I don't know is where the belts attach to the engine and in which order.

Anybody have a picture or description? Do I work from the top or from under the coach?
Do I need to remove the fan shroud?

Thanks in advance

Sir: Since it is your first time you will be hunting for the bottom bolt on the ps. I would recomend for the first time to remove the inner fenders and get a good light. Very easy, takes about 3 minutes.. You probably will be over and under. Loosen 3 bolts for each belt IIRC. After replacing belts, I would tighten the AC first then the PS then the Alt. when tightening the belts use a pry bar to put tension on the belt while you tighten a sloted bolt to hold, the ps tank bends easy, be careful there, then tighten the other 2 bolts. Do not try to get them dog tight, just good & tight. They will probably stretch in a couple of weeks, so be ready to retighten usually once. Good Luck....
