Default ribbed / serpentine belt?

Got a small squeal on startup; the serpentine belt looks like it needs replacing (small cracks), not surprising after 6 years. I saw the DIY writeup for the timing belt that includes the serpentine, but anybody got comments / advice on replacing just the serpentine? How much time should I count on?

maybe 30 min very easy...when you pull back the tensioner there is a hole that will line up and you'll have to get a small allen or a strong pin to slide in the hole. with the pin in place you'll have all the tension off the belt and it will just slide off. put back on then take the pin out while holding the tensioner. release then your good.......you will have to take the charge pipe out of the way if u have a 225...not sure on the 180s
