Flippin belts

Well aside from Autozone giving me the wrong belts, and insisting that I only needed 2 when my trucks got 3, I've got a question. Me working in the dark is not conducive to finding out how the heck to get the alt and p/s belts off. Its been so long since I've done anything but serp belts, and I'm not finding any slider brackets like on the A/C. Any help would be awesome! Thanks guys

Tha alt one is underneath the air pump and is the slider the pivot is on the bottom.
The Ps pump should be easy to see and kind of a pain since they don't give you
anything but the case to push against, So be careful with that one and take
your time. Be sure to bring the belts in the house and put them in your sink with
the hottest water you can so they stretch a bit and will have the right amount of
tightness when the motor heats up.
