Question HELP! changing a/c belt b16 ek/ej

Hi Guys,

I'm new in this forum and I need some help/advice from you guys.

I'm having trouble changing the a/c belt in my ek/ej sedan.
I recently transplanted a b16a japan engine and it seems that the a/c compressor belt is wrapped around the engine support bracket which also houses the compressor itself. I was wondering how could I replace the belt without taking apart the whole bracket.

thanks guys in advanced

Raise car on jack and safety stands
Might remove drivers front wheel for room
Remove 2 bolts (14mm socket) holding the bracket up in the drivers wheelwell.
Pull down on bracket and slip belt off.

Might need to lower engine by loosening the 2 vertical fasteners for the upper mount.

Thanks for the help, half way through the process of replacing the belt (power steering pump removed, tires removed, power steering belt removed) i broke some of my tools (cheap china tools) and I ended up putting it back together just tight enough to get to a shop to have dobe by a professional FML. 😧
