The other belts are:
power steering - #17450
A/C compressor - #17365

Hope this helps.

Duralast #15395 is to short and did not work.I don't know how you managed to put that on...I bought them and after 1h later I gave up!
Duralast #15405 is the correct part number for the alt/water pump.
Anyway the adjusting screw was broken and the belts were a bear to put back on. I did manage somehow with a pry bar to get good tension on the new belts and tighten the top sliding bolt. In the same time I got to change the PS belt too with no problems.
I drove 200miles already since yesterday and all the belts are still tight. I'm not going to worry abt the broken tension adjusting screw on the alt bracket ...I will keep my eyes on it tough.
