Belt Replacement

I have a 1991 w/ the v6, 3vz-e engine.... the garage was supposed to change the belts when it was in for inspection (and didnt).... so rather than send it back I am just going to save a buck and do it myself.... while inspecting the existing condition I see only 2 belts.... Is this correct?... there appears to be a pully with no belt on it down deep on the left hand side.... I havent noticed any "problems" with performance?..... could this be a belt than runs the A/C.... have I been sweating my b@lls off all summer because of a simple belt replacement ?.... If so does anyone have a belt "routing" digram (or picture) they could attach so I know what it should look like?.... many thanks

Thanks all... I looked in the Haynes Manual... they have each belt broken out into there respective sections.... i.e. the belt that runs the alternator is in the electrical section... they don't show all three as a "system" under a "routine maintenance" section... kinda dumb I think.... I don't expect the job will be too tough... It just felt good to vent a little... I'm feeling much better now
