An old quick trick is to remove the positive terminal from the battery while the car is running. If the car dies or runs very rough the odds are it's the alternator. A lot of auto stores will test the whole charging system for free.

How do you change the alternator belt on a 1993 Pontiac Bonneville?

Use a wrench to loosen the tensioner which keeps tension on the belt. Once this is loose, pull the belt off of the tensioner. It will then come loose from the remaining pulleys (A/C compressor, water pump, etc.). A diagram should be located on top of the radiator showing the path of the belt to help you know how to install the new one.
