Loosen the bolts for the ps pump. They are on the on the other side of the bracket. I think 2 of them. The power steering pump will move so you can remove that belt. The alternator you will need to loosen the bolt that points towards the fender (maybe 14mm). Then turn the bolt on the back of the shield that facing towards the fire wall. That will slowly loosen the alternator so the belt can be removed.

the p.s. pump has 2-13mm bolt and 1-15mm bolt that hold it in place and the alternator has 2-15mm bolts and a 13mm tension bolt

I assume you do not have a Haynes or Chilton manual. so the easiest thing to do is go to the AUTOZONE website, register (it is free) and then use their repair info guides (lots of text and pictures).
