Good morning,
The power steering has only one belt from the crank pulley inner mounting to the pump.
The alternator and the A/C compressor are run by the other belt. I attached some pictures for you of the routing.

Thank you. I didn't understand that it was still called a serpentine belt being so short.

No problem.
The new belts use both sides of the belt. That classifies it as a serpentine belt.
The old belts were V belts that sat in a groove. The serpentines are flat.
