Serp belt is easy. Just insert a 1/2 inch breaker bar into the square notch on the back side of the tensioner and pull towards the passenger fender. This releases the tension and allows you to remove the belt. Doing this with the air horn out of the way makes the process easier. A trick I learned it place your new water pump on your bench and as you pull the water pump bolts to place the bolts after cleaning them into the correct position holes on the new pump. Once the old pump is out replace them and then pull them one at a time as you start installing the new pump. There are many bolts of different sizes and lengths so this is a pretty good memory technique

Make sure you loosen the bolts on the Water pump pulley while the tensioner is still in normal operating position first. You will need to remove the radiator shroud to free up room in the front of the motor to do the repair. If you car still has the corban style radiator clamps I suggest getting a corban ring style puller. I also suggest now that you are there you change all the hoses and the serp belt just so you know its all good.
