drivebelt and a/c compressor adjustment 200 1978

im replacing the belts on my '78 245. i was able to loosen the alternator and power steering pump with no problem. my only problem was loosening the a/c compressor. i need to loosen this so i can remove the front-most drivebelt between the compressor and the crankshaft pulley(?). i looked around, up and down, but i couldn't figure out where the bolts were to loosen it. my haynes, clymer, and chiltons didnt even make reference to this belt -- only the p/s and alternator belts.

to clear up any confusion, my setup goes like this: a belt connecting the p/s pump and a/c compressor. the fore-most belt connecting the p/s pump and the crankshaft. and then two belts on the alternator. i know they reach the fan and the crankshaft pulley but i dont really remember the exact order, i didnt pay too much attention to them since i was frustrated over the a/c compressor.
