The ac belt has a tensioner that is accessed from below, and takes a tensioner tool to loosen. Remove the serpentine belt, release tension on the ac belt then the belt can come off for replacement.
The AC Belt connects to the crankshaft pully outer pully the one in front of the crankshaft belt
The ac belt will need to have the tensioner to take the belt off. The serpentine belt is in front of the compressor belt and will have to be removed first.
Belt about 20 bucks unless AC run by a "serpentine belt" (all one belt runs everything) then belt cost $ 80. and labor for serpentine $ 75. labor for just AC non serpentine belt $ 30
????? The belt only drives the AC so all you have is the tensioner, AC and main pully!

You have to remove the ac belt first then the v belt. Once you get them off you need to replace the v belt and ensure it is tight enough. then the ac belt.

An AC belt hooks up to an 1987 Nova by wrapping around the AC compressor. It is then reattached to the compressor by tightening the bolts back down to the belt.
Replace belt self tensioner, if applicable. Adjust belt tension. Replace belt. Have ac pressures checked. AC compressor may be failing.
it is probably the bearings going out in the ac compressor pulley or belt slippage. the reason it is different when it is on is because the belt is not under "load" or has resistance.
