In some cars. one belt drives both the alternator and the air conditioning. In other cars, each has its own belt. Depends on the car. The alternator belt runs whenever the engine is running, the AC belt turns, but is only running under load when the AC compressor is turned on to get cold air.

Difference between alternator belt and serpentine belt?
This would depend on the year model of your car. Older models used several belts to turn various components (alternator, AC compressor, fan, etc) whereas many newer models just use one belt that "surpentines" itself around all of the components at the same time.

How do you get the AC compressor belt off to get the alternator belt on?
This was hard to do on my 1986 2.5L 4-cylinder because in order to put the new alternator belt on... you have to get the AC belt off... to replace either belt you have to remove both. first what you have to do is loosen up the 2 pivot bolts on the AC compressor from underneath the car.. mine were pretty stubborn but i eventually got em to budge... once you can move the AC, remove the crank/water pump/AC belt. then loosen up the alternator pivot bolt located on the underside of the alternator...(this can be done from either top or bottom) once you can move the alternator.. slip the belt onto the alternator pulley and around the water pump and crank. then tighten the alternator pivot bolts while putting as much possible tension onto the belt and re-tighten alternator into place. then put or replace crank/water pump/AC belt and re-tighten the AC while putting as much possible tension on the belt by pushing the AC forward with a pry bar or screwdriver. then tension up the belts so they give no more than 1/2" when you pull them at the midpoints of their spans.

How do you replace the serpentine belt in a 1986 Pontiac fiero 2m6 se?
The "serpentine" belt does not serpentine. It runs the alternator and water pump only. To change you will need to work from underneath. If you have AC remove the AC belt by loosing the AC adjuster bolt and sliding the compressor over. If you have to take the AC belt off better change it, they are cheap and you don't want to do this again for a long time. Loosen the alternator adjuster pinch bolt. Some Fireos has a adjuster screw, some don't Move the alternator to loosen belt. Remove and install new. Tension belt to recommended tension on packaging on new belt. Reinstall AC belt, use the tension instructions on the package.

You probably have your AC on. This draws more current from the alternator. You can have a loose alternator belt, or a bad alternator. Try it with AC off. (if this is what you're doing)..Tom
