How to remove the tensioner pulley bracket and AC belt for the timing belt

It took me quite a while to figure this out and the Vfaqs and manuals don't do a good enough job of explaining and showing what this is and how to remove it. Actually, it is quite simple. The only bolts needed to remove are all 12mm socket size, and they can be reached with a small ratchet or gear wrench. Here is a picture that shows you what the tensioner pulley bracket is and the 3 bolts that need to be removed:

If you have any questions or get stuck, pm me. Literally, all you need to do is squeeze in between the side of the engine bay and get those bolts off and the bracket with the belt falls off. This bracket is located directly above the crankshaft pulleys.
