'91 7.3L Belt Tightening (V Belts) - AC Comp - How To?

[PSDfreak]

Trying to tighten the belt running from the AC compressor down to the fan then the crank...its slack and making a bunch of noise at idle. It looks like I am going to have to move the AC compressor to take the slack out, just not sure which bolts to turn...

Thanks,
Casey

They are bolts that take the 9/16 socket, IIRC there are three on the front plate under the compressor, and one in the back plate. Look at the compressore and the plates tis bolted to, you will notice there are some channels in the plates with a bolt that rides in them, those are your clamp-down bolts, and you also have two other bolts around which the whole compressor and plates assembly pivots in/out towards the engine/fender.
