Depends upon your belt configuration,
if orginal, you have to release belt tension on the Alternator belt,
and remove it, it should be the outer belt on the ps. pulley.
then release the belt tension on the power steering pump,
if your after the fan belt for the crank/waterpump,
do all the above, then remove the crank pulley,
it is a very tight fit belt with no adjustment.
slip on new belt and bolt on the crank pulley
and verify the belt is tight.
then put all the above back together !
good luck !.. ...69VETT
