How many drive belts/serpentine belts on 96 corolla or any toyota

[msrdude]

I know there is a timing belt, and I know there is a drive belt/serpentine belt on my 96 corolla. I was wondering how many drive belts/serpentine belts are on there? The auto parts store had 3 types of belts: pwr steering belt, a/c belt, and alternator belt. And someone told me that there is only one belt.

Do all cars have one drive belt/serpentine belt or more than one belt?

are you asking about your car or just cars in general?

My car the 96 corolla. And is the tensioner thing spring loaded, or is that on the 8th generation corollas?

7th gen corollas has 3 or 4 belts, other manufacturers use only one serpentine belt.

My car has AC, and power steering. This gives three belts plus the timing belt. One for AC, one for PS, one for Alternator. All are manually tensioned with a ratchet or end wrench. No spring-loaded tensioners here.

Is there something preventing you from looking under the hood and counting them yourself?
