If it is a serpentine belt the automatic tensioner will adjust the belt for you.

If it is an older "V" type belt--there should be 1/2" "play" at the middle of the belt, between the pulleys.

What is the serpentine belt and Tensioner 300se?

The serpentine belt and the tensioner on a 300 SE motor is part of the fan system that controls all of the smaller motors on the front of the engine. The serpentine belt helps turn the alternator, power steering pump, water pump, and the fan. The tensioner is a pulley on this belt that helps to keep the belt tight enough to stay on, but not too tight to hinder operation.
