Default What to replace with the Serpentine and A/C belts

I'm going to replace the serpentine and A/C belts. Is it common practice to replace any of the other pulley's or belt tentioner while you are already taking care of the belts?

only if they indicate they are bad. spin the tensioner and the idler and if they are smooth and there are no noises when running, no need to replace. Ditto for the AC compressor belt. If the old belt has any life left to it, put it in the trunk with a 15mm wrench. It might get you home one day.
