Got a new serpentine belt for my car listed above. It's hard to see down in the side of the car. I can't tell which belt diagram to use. And if I change the main belt should I go ahead and change both.

The drive belt is the one that does not include the A/C compressor. The other belt is the A/C belt.

Here is a guide that will help with this:

Below is the diagram for both belts together and if it were me, I would at least inspect both belts but if you have to take them off, I would put new ones back on unless they are relatively new.

Please review the info below and let us know if you have other questions. Thanks
