Hi Mate,
I have done it on mine. But I have a different engine than you. Mine is TB42 carby. Changing belt will be almost same I guess for Fan - water pump, Alternator, A/C, Power steering. Here are some general tips.
Buy all belts which you gonna replace. Coz there is a sequence to remove belts and put them back in.
For safety remove Battery (-) terminal first. So no one can crank the engine.
Then loose the tension adjuster bolts or pulleys. loose them to maximum. So it will be easy when you put new belts which are very tight.
Remove the most forward belt. then second belt..
when installing belts, last out- first in order.
Adjust tension of belts to manufactures specs by tightening adjusters. Torque other related nuts and bolts.
remove all tools. check again for correct installation.
Connect battery negative (-).
Ready to start engine. And its better to check belt tension again after some run.
Most of the time its worth knowing mechanical jobs, how to perform.
Good luck
