I did this on mine, wasn't particularly a bad job from memory.

Just get the system drained first and get some new o rings, I also replaced the receiver/drier.

I'm sure once you've got the belt off it'll be fairly obvious, think its only held on my two or three bolts, needed a little persuasion to get it out once the bolts were out too.

You will need the system drained down and then regassed afterwards, you would better to get a specialist to sort it tbh.

piece of piss done it, but left it off. Managed to remove the air con rad and replaced the AUX belt with a smaller one.
