Default Serp belt broke! P1SC in way! Help!

As the title states my belt broke. I need to take the headunit off, but not sure how hard it is. Is it the 2 bolts on top and 1 on bottom in between the pulleys? Is this pretty tough. All I have are basic hand tools. Is the belt hard to get on. Never put a belt on before.

i have a p-1sc on my 98gt and i dont need to remove it to replace the belt... but mine has one bolt in the tensioner 2 in the block and one in the ignition coils. hard to find room but a fairly easy job for two people. im not sure if the bolting is the same on a pi block but would assume it is.

On my 2000 GT I had to take the supercharger off to replace the belt. It had three bolts. Two on the left hand side holding the bracket on and one on the right hand side (allen head) that went through an idler pulley. When you put the supercharger back on be sure to get all of the spacers back in the right places or else your pulleys won't line up correctly. I had to take the supercharger off, loop the belt loosely in place, put the supercharger back on and then put the belt over the remaining pulleys. You use a 3/8" ratchet to hold the tensioner down and you slip the belt over the waterpump pulley last. In my opinion it takes four hands to change the belt. On to hold the tensioner down, one to slip the belt over the waterpump pulley and two to keep the belt from slipping off the other pulleys while you do it.
