Taking off the serpentine belt

Well i have to change my supercharger coupler, under the hood i noticed reaching both belt tensioners may seem really hard to reach. Is there anything really major i need to take off to make it so this is a simple process? I'm bad with car things, don't hate me.

just take a wrench and a 15mm and release tension on the belts to remove them, then unbolt the alternator to make more room, then suck out all the oil from the supercharger and start removing the bolts to take the snout off.

I'm assuming you are supercharged when you say "coupler".

Yeah i am, just fixed the post. And yeah this is what i was going to do, it just seems like the other tensioner near the coolant reservoir seems impossible to get to without moving anything.
 
Undo the two 10mm nuts holding the coolant tank in place. Lift tank and lay it on the front valve cover/fans in a way that won't spill all it's coolant out. If you do spill it all... refill it to the hot mark after putting it back in place.

Working on your car is quite simple once you realize a couple of things.
99% of the nuts and bolts loosen when turned counter clockwise, and tighten clockwise
You will have to move things to get at other items.
The fewer pieces you take off, the quick er the job is done.
Most important...the sooner you stop procrastinating, the quicker it gets done.
