Tips on engine Belt (s) removal 85 300D

I am in this far thought I would remove and replace all the belts I see the tension device on the two lower ones , but what about the one off the power steering pump and AC unit , i cant figure it out, also does the fan have to come off ---Please say no - the little bolts looked trashed

The fan can stay.

PS pump -Loosen 3 13 mm bolts/nuts (you will need to use a ratchet with an extension on two of the bolt heads as they are recessed into the rear side of the bracket). Loosen adjusting bolt (should look like a flush bolt head on the top of the bracket) while pressing on the belt to rotate the pump.

Alternator/water pump/fan- loosen 17mm nut on rear side of adjustment bolt (it has a threaded rod for the adjustment nut welded onto the head at a 90* angle) and 17mm bolt at hinge point at the bottom of the alternator. Loosen adjustment nut on front passenger side of alternator.

AC- loosen 3 19mm bolts (it's a pain to access two of them) then loosen adjustment bolt. I can't remember where the adjustment bolt is located of the top of my head, but it should be obvious when you get under the car.
