Default accessory belt access question?

basically what in the heck do I have to, should I have to, remove to get to the damn things?
I looked at the autozone website, couldn't find the steps. thanks in advance.

If you need directions on how to do this then you need to pay somebody else to do it for you, if you were the least bit mechanically inclined you could figure it out, it's about as easy as anything gets when it comes to working on cars. you are likely going to break some stuff before you get it right.....take it to a professional or at least a mildly skilled friend and save yourself the headache

that is probably one of the funniest responses I've ever heard, perhaps I could have asked better questions. Do I have to jack the car up and remove the splash shields and get at it all from underneath. I wanted to avoid that if possible cause I (as in myself) installed in lowering springs and its very low and now a pain to get my jack under there. I have also replaced the steering knuckle and both axles. But for some reason I am put off by the accessory belts cause I'm so use to it being so much easier and simple on mopars.

its one of the simplesest things you can do.
both the ac and alternater have brackets with a 12 mill bolt that you loosen. move the bracket to slip the belts over the crankpulley and the alternater or ac and then push the accecery to tighten the belt while simotaneously tighting the 12 mill bolt to secure the belt in a tight manner.
you should be able to do all this from the top with very simple tools.
