What Justin said.
The big work that causes the most curse words is dealing with loosening and tightening up the power steering pump. Oem A/C is also kinda a pain. But never had to take fan shrouds off or remove radiators to change belts.

After reading one of your postings here on the procedure, I decided to try it when I changed to 1/2" belts. It worked great.

moving the shroud or loosening any attachment like the A/C, alternator, or
power steering.
I tried to write up a description of the process many years ago but no one
seemed too excited..lol Before I discovered I had the alternator out of
alignment with the rest of the pulleys on one of my trips to NM, I changed
a total of 3 belts on the side of the road. One was supervised by a Trooper
who spent a lot of time scratching his head lol

No ONE PERSON designed the power steering pump and bracket assembly. It is
a mixture of pieces gleaned from the assembly line spare parts bin. It,
combined with the power window wiper hoses is a P.I.T.A. Don't ever take an
assembly off and leave it set for a couple of days. Pieces will wander off
searching for familiar friends. Finding none, they roll under work benches
and hide out, never to be found. (Grin)
