replacing ac idler pulley...
So i need to replace mine, as its making alot of noise now. I bought the parts off RockAuto.com. Now looking to replace them, havent got new belts though. Should i get new belts while im at it, or just change them now and get new belts later on?
Now to replace them. All i have to do is, pull of the belts, get under the car and remove the bolt thats holding the ac pulley on there. Pull it off, put in new pulley, put bolt and belts back on and im done? Is this right? Or is there more to it? Just want to be sure as ive never had to mess with them.

Both pulleys I purchased from Summit are identical to the pulley pictured below.
Pulley to the left above both AC idler/tensioner pulleys
Summit states that part# 49021 is the AC idler pulley

I replaced both of my A/C idlers with goodyears because I wanted to keep a stock looking pulley without forking over for ACDelco The PN is 49159 from Goodyear, works on the A/C tensioner aswell.
Edit: Corrected Part number, it is 49159 NOT 49006 .. 49006 is the Serpentine Idler near the Alternator for 98 - 99 and some of the 2000's.
