Question Changing a/c and serpentine belt... have a few Q's

Hey all.. First off my car has 62,000 miles on it and I do think its time I change the belts. I would like to know what else I might need.. I never had any issues with the belt slippage or it coming off. Any tip's or suggestions would be great. Thanks!

Been a long time since I have done one but I think it takes a 15mm socket. You just push on the tensioner and take the pressure off.

It is behind the main serpentine belt so that has to be removed first. Real easy, like PSJ said it takes a 15mm and move the tensioner. Same for the AC belt but if you can get it from the bottom it will be easier.
