Does a 02 civic EX have 2 or 3 belts (A/C, Alt, P/S)

Ok - I just got the AEM Underdrive Pulley Kit.

It comes with two belts and two pulleys (Power Steering and Alternator).

I went to Autozone and got a new A/C Belt since when they change the pulleys and the two new belts that came with it - I figured I mind as well have them change the A/C belt too since they have to take it off right.

Well after spending some time looking at my engine - I can only see two belts.

I see the little (Thinner) belt for the Power Steering and a bigger (Fatter) belt that seems to run the Alternator and A/C together.

Am I going crazy - I called autozone and O'Reilly and they both say there should be three belts (The A/C and Alternator use the same belt number but each have their own belt and the P/S belt is thinner).

Is there three belts on our car - sorry I have a 02 civic EX Automatic. I'm getting it installed tomorrow - I'm sure the guy that's installing it will know one he takes everything out - I just want to know - it's driving me crazy.

Thanks,
Mike

Thanks man - stupid Autozone - I just check the website and it says Alternator and A/C belt $15.99 (1per car)

Which means you only need one belt and it runs both

Idiots.

Umm I think they do have 3 belts actually. I was looking at the parts list for the 2002 EX Coupe Manual:
Power Steering: (56992-PLM-003)$9.17
A/C: (38920-PLR-003)$12.48
ALT: (3111-PLA-E01)Bando Brand
(3111-PLA-E02)Mitsubushi Brand $8.75

Part numbers are from Honda. Planning on getting these THREE along with a Water Pump(19200-PLM-A01)with Seal and Timing Belt(114400-PLM-A02). Aonder if anyone has 2 AEM pulleys i can buy for CHEAP... :-)
