You have two idler pulleys and a couple fixed pulleys. One idler pulley is up high next to the passengers side head, it has a spring built in so you can release the serpentine belt.
The other idler pulley is down below and is next to the A/C compressor, it also has a spring built in so it can move so you can release the A/C belt.
Serpentine belt = accessory drive belt (alternator, power steering pump, water pump)
A/C belt = compressor belt (the compressor spins via the A/C belt which is attached to the crank pulley) The A/C belt has no association at all with the serpentine belt. One has nothing to do with the other one.
The crank pulley is the master of all, it spins both belts.
