there's a spring loaded tension-er on the right side of the engine.. look at your belt diagram on your engine and you'll see the belt tension-er looking like it's pointing to the northeast of the little diagram.. the easiest way to relieve the pressure is get a crowbar, pull up on the tension-er until it relieves the pressure. I'm actually putting a new belt on my 91' 3.1 Corsica
Take a 15mm open end wrench and fish it under the motor mount and place it on the nut to the tension pulley. Use a piece of wood or something to push down on the other end to get the leverage you need to relieve the tension on the pulley
To release the 1990 Cavalier serpentine tension, use a socket and a ratchet. Put the socket on the bolt heat in the middle of the pulley wheel, and pull to one side, and the belt will be loosened to be able to be removed.
right under the almost impossible to get to alternator......
Serepentine bels do not have tension adjustments, there is a tension pully That is preloaded with a coil spring in it. If the belt is loose, the pully spring may have lost it tension. Replace the pully assembley.

Put a socket and ratchet on the tensioner belt pulley. Pull to the side, releasing the belt tension. Remove the belt and put the new one on, a helper will make this easier. Take the ratchet off to re-tension the belt.
The AC system can be recharged in a 1990 Chevy Corsica by connecting a refrigerant tank to the low pressure inlet. Refrigerant is then added until the correct pressure is reached.
