No, an accessory belt is not considered a serpentine belt. However, a serpentine belt is considered a specific type of accessory belt.
Never as the 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier does not have a belt, it has a chain that should last the life of the engine.
You dont! The belt is self adjusting with the belt tensioner. Check the tensioner for failure or damage if your belt is loose good luck
