I have just gotten out from under mine and here's what I found out making my hands very sore replacing them.
1. The top belt that is fatter is the alternator belt,you need to loosen the 10mm long bolt and then the 12mm one on top (*don't loosen either all the way*)
2. The other top skinny one is for the power steering, there is a bolt to loosen on the top that is hidden under some wires. Then there is a pivot point bolt to loosen underneath as well.
3. The bottom belt is for the A/C and only touches the compressor and the main crank.
