92 A80 quattro A/C and alternator belts broke

Hello the other night I started up my car to drive home and while it was idling I heard this pop and then a couple of lights came on the Temp light and brake light were flashing up top and the battery, anti lock, and park break were solid at the bottom. I was able to drive it home that night when I got home I turned it off then tried to turn it back on and it wouldn't turn seemed like the battery was having trouble. The next day I was checking to see what could of gone wrong and I found a broken belt hanging off the front and another belt that had fallen off with some teeth missing. I'm not sure what belts they are but after visiting the local Audi dealer and comparing a power steering belt to the ones that fell off my guess is that the belts that fell off are the A/C belt and alternator belt. The belts will come in on Wednesday to make sure they are the ones that I need. My main question is what will I have to do get these belts back on? I've never really replaced any belts before and not sure which belt goes where. Any help on how to replace these belts will help me out a bunch, Thanks.
