Drive Belt Removal

[otis24]

I attempted to change out the belts last weekend on my 96 FZJ80, but got stuck on removing the drive belt. I had the belt tensioner out of the way and loosened, but I couldn't determine which bolts on the a/c compressor needed to be loosend to get the belts off. The FSM isn't very clear on this I tried the back two bolts on the compressor, but this didn't seem to do much. Any input or tips from the forum would be appreciated.
