I figured it out myself. You have to unbolt one side of the Power Steering pump, take the belt off that goes from there to the crankshaft pulley, then put your alternator belt on - going to the opposite side of the power steering pump. Tighten up the alternator by (of course) loosening the nut that holds the alternator on the bracket, pushing the alternator so it tightens the belt, then tighten it back up - the belt shouldn't have much play but it shouldn't be too tight. Then you put the power steering belt back on, use something you can get a good bit of leverage with (I used a long steel jack handle to pry against the engine block), push the power steering pump (carefully!) over in the same fashion as the alternator, tighten the bolts you loosened, and you should be done. Worked for me, anyway. Materials needed: Alternator/Fan belt (obviously), 14 Metric wrench, 1/2in S.A.E. wrench/ratchet socket. Approx time to completion (after you get it figured out) - about a half-hour to forty-five minutes.
