Default Belt replacement ???

I am going to replace my belts with some gatorback belts from autozone. Are there any special tools needed or things to watch out for?
Thanks

Not sure about the AC belt as I don't have one anymore, but for the serpentine belt, all you need is a 15mm socket and wrench to hold over the tensioner to get the belt on. My only suggestion is to really take note of how the serpentine belt is routed before you take it off.
