Don't know what the two belts are for and need to know what each belt does, specifically.

What type motor do you have? I'm guessing b6 or k8.
I'm assuming you have p/s and a/c.
For the b6 (4 cyl) you have 2 belts.
The inner runs crankshaft--> alternator--> water pump
The outter belt runs crank--> p/s--> a/c
(all clockwise) from crank
For the k8 (6 cyl) you have 2 belts.
The inner runs crank--> inside bottom tensioner--> p/s--> water pump
The outter belt runs crank--> inside of top tensioner-->alternator--> a/c
(all clockwise) from crank
