Belt busted...HELP
So tonight on way home I heard a weird noise on acceleration. Suddently no power steering/heat/battery level dropped and engine temp skyrocketed. Opened hood and there's a belt snapped and frayed. Now question is, Is there only 1 belt? And is it just one I can get at Schucks? I looked at website and it saw this:
Vehicle: 1999 CHEVROLET CORVETTE
Engine: V8 5.7 Liter FI
Serpentine Belt: Poly-V; Alternator And Power Steering
I'm assuming this is what I need?

Any autoparts store.....
AutoZone, Advance, NAPA, PEPBOYS, CARQUEST etc etc
GoodYear GatorBack is the most used here The gator back will set you back $24-$35 depending on wher eyou buy it
At Autozone it's
Part Number: 4060798
Weight: 0.393 lbs.
Note: Poly-V alt & P/S
Unique Gatorback rib design reduces noise and extends life by reducing heat build-up
but GATES and DAYCO are fine buyu the better ones with th elifetime guarantee.

That's good advice... The Goodyear Gatorback, 4060798 is a greta belt. far exceeds the OEM AC Delco

yes there are two belts.... but the smaller is only for the Air conditioning...
if he experienced this...Suddently no power steering/heat/battery level dropped and engine temp skyrocketed.
then the broken belt is the one I referenced...
BUT if you point is while there... also get the A/C belt and change it....

Ya I think it's def. the one on top that connects the alt/power steering. I'm headed to the parts store to buy the gatorback. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for all your advice. I changed the top one last night and everything is running great. Noticed the bottom one was harder to get to. Will have to tackle that one a bit later 
Now onto researching the site about headlight stuck up....sigh....
