Tensioner? For my alt/waterpump/ac not my supercharger. I thought it’s the one between the alt and waterpump, but I can’t move it. How does the belt go on and stay tight? All I can see is removing the alt gets the belt on/off?

It is the one between that alternator and the water pump, and you rotate it counter clockwise to loosen the belt.

I suspected that but I can’t get it to budge. If I google there’s old threads where people say they can’t fit the normal tensioner so they build the alternator bracket so it holds the belt tight, I’m hoping that’s the case here.

Use a longer lever?
I see you here is no power steering pump on the engine, perhaps the belt on your engine is so short that the tensioner is already at full rotation?
