Was wondering if someone could tell me how much time it pays to put a serpentine belt on a 98 Buick Lesaber with a 3800 in it ?

Thanks

i know the grand am/3400 is like that. but even so, with a half inch gun it’s still cake. throw a couple blocks or wood under the oil pan and let it rest while you unbolt the mount. still shouldn’t take longer than a half hour to do
