Instructions on replacing AC belt.
Do I have to remove the other accessory belts or is this one on the outside?

A/C should be the outer belt of the three. Loosen the lock bolt and loosen the tensioner, remove old belt, install new belt. Tighten to the specified deflection (7-10 mm or just over a 1/4 inch) Lock the tensioner and run it, you will likely need to adjust it again in a couple months as the new belt stretches a bit.
