Changin Ac belt

I've decided to change all my belts. I've got the main one done but cant find the tensioner for the AC and alternator belts. BTW: I have a VG.

Question: What do you mean by "the main one?"

AC belt: Loosen pulley lockut, and then look under the middle of the upper rad hose near your distributor cap cover. You will see a 12mm bolt head that will raise or lower the idler pulley. You want to lower to remove.

Alternator Belt: Loosen the 2 top mounting bolts so it can pivot, and then on the bottom of the alty, there is an adjuster bolt and and adjuster lock bolt. Loosen the lock bolt, and then turn the adjuster bolt to push alternator forward to ease tension.

I know. It's just that if one has done the timing belt, how did he/she do it without taking the accessory belts off first?
