Default D16y8 ac belt tensioning

I had some squealing from my alternator belt, so I figured I might as well replace that, the A/C belt, and PS belt as well as lower engine mounts all at the same time. I've got a 96 coupe with a d17y8. I can't seem to find any way to tension the A/C belt for the life of me. I'd appreciate any help or diagrams that could be sent my way. Not really finding much on Google or YouTube for this specific belt.

Edit* The car didn't have an A/C belt when I bought it, so I can't just reverse the process of taking it off.

Ok, so it looks like my car is missing the idler pully and bracket all together for the A/C belt. I guess that explains why I couldn't figure out how to tension it.

That makes a lot of sense. Glad you got it figured out.
