Its pretty easy to do mate, you will have to loosen the tensioners and locking bolts for the alternator and power steering pump etc, once these are loosened you will be able to take the belts off.

Remember to make sure the tension of the new belts is good and all bolts etc are tightened etc.

I normally use a 90 degree turn of the belt as a guide to how tight you should tension them.

You will have to re check after a few miles as the belt after use will stretch a little and wear so will loose some of the tension, thus re tension to suit.
