You're missing the valve cover. Seriously I don't think anyone would be able to tell if you were missing the auto tensioner just by taking off the valve cover.

Do you see a pretty loong bolt that runs through the alternator attached to a bracket? That bolt adjust the tension in your alternator belt and that's what i'm thinking the guy was telling you

ill see if i can get a pic of it later for you

Do you mean the A/C Compressor? Usually it goes right under the alternator.

Or if it's really part of the alternator maybe this will help

hey bro i know what your talking about and you dont need it! just have a friend pull it tight while you tighten it down! that what i did and it works fine! its not a auto tensioner its just a screw you can tighten instead of trying to pull it tight!

it might be #10, not sure:

But it is the two bolt little thing under the alternator, i went out and looked today at a car in the parking lot: Kid showed me, it has two bolts, i guess its used to help tighten the alterator belt
