Default 98 caravan A/C belt

I"m trying to replace an a/c belt for my friends 98 dodge caravan, but i cant find any info on it. Its a short v-belt that goes around the secondary drive pully over an idler pully and around the ac pully, but i'm not sure if i have to lower the idler pully somehow, or move the compressor... any help would be appreciated...Im sorry if a similar post was made I'm new to this..thank for your time....

If it is a factory a/c, it will have a serpentine belt for all the pulleys.

That would be true if the engine is a 3.3. But if its a 3.0, the engine does have two fan belts.
