[EG5] Alternator/Power Steering/AC Belt Replacement Question

Hey guys,
I was looking through my engine bay the other day and noticed that one of the three belts mentioned in the title was a bit torn but I don't know which belt it is. Just wandering if anyone could tell me in order from left to right, which belts are which? By left to right i mean when you're looking at the engine bay and how the belts are on the right side of the engine.
I can only find this picture online but it only shows the alternator belt.

Also I'm just wandering if anyone knows how to change the the alternator, power steering or air condition belt on an EG5. I've done a bit of research and I know that its a d16y1 engine and the belts for the components are 4pk775, 4pk800 and 4pk815 respectively. I however cannot seem to find a DIY guide that can help me replace these belts.

Thanks in advance.

download manual here (tells you how to do it)
http://www.spoonertuner.com/manuals

using crankshaft pulley as reference point:
-belt that goes to the back of engine is ALTernator.
-belt that goes to front-middle is AC
-belt that goes to front-up is PS

definition of front: where front bar or headlight is.

in to out . alternator > Ac> power steering . It is not a hard job to do.
You loose the Power steering bolts ,
you loose the AC bolts.
you loose the Alternator Bolt.
You take belts out, you put new belts....
You do it backward.

Make sure you get the right belts.

It's not just the circumference of the belt, it's how wide too.

Better to take them off 1st and take them to the parts shop to compare.
