I tried to find the "how to" on the site but had no luck.. Shouldnt be hard at all tho most cases loosen, pull belt out, new belt in, and tighten.. If I had an RS I would help you out but mine is a GS-T.. You should buy a Haynes manual at any auto parts store for your car and it will walk you thru belt replacement step by step.. It will also help you with any other jobs you want to do yourself, its a must have.. I use it on every job and I learned quite a bit from it also.. It actually answered a bunch of my questions before I even post them on this site.. One of the best 25 bucks you will ever spend is on this trust me.. I will keep searching for ya but like I said I had no luck finding anything, either there isnt anything on it (which I doubt) or my search skills suck.. Keep searching and check out the link below I found relavant hopefully it helps you out.. Good luck!!

Loosen the belt by the tensioner pulley. The serpertine belt should go around the crank pulley, power steering pump, and ac compressor. There is another belt for the alternator, you might want to go ahead and change that too.
If you need more help ask the guy at autozone to give you a diagram.
