Default Need help on replacing EP3 serpentine belt.

Is loosening the tensioner the only thing I need here?
Could anyone point me out which one is the tensioner shown in the diagram?

thank!

Hahahaha, that is a sweet diagram.

But, I think it's letter "B," assuming "A" is the idler pulley.

If you go over to ephatch.com you can download the full electronic copy of the Helm's manual for free, or I could email it to you.

I tried searching for it and it was impossible to find on ephatch! If you still have the link could you IM it to me?

Ok can I jump in and add a quick question? How many damn belts are there in here? I just go a EP3 and I can tell my serpentine belt is trash but every time I go to a parts store they want to give me like 3 to 5 choices of different belts... Really? It's an 03 SI. The belt going around the A/C compressor covers the entire car or is there a second. I don't have the owners manual =/
