Tight enough so the drive sheave does not slip and the motor draws the correct amperage, but not so tight that the squirrel cage bearings are damaged. There is a belt tensioning measurement to use but you need the distance between the pulleys to use it properly. Try Google. -END An old rule of thumb is you should have about a half inch of deflection when pressed at the center with your finger. Works with most drive belts

Should you run the furnace fan along with the central air to help circulate cool air threw out house?
With central air the furnace fan must be running to provide the air to the living space. If the furnace fan is not running then you get no air out of the ducts and the A-coil (the part of the ac system that is in your furnace duct) will freeze and shut down the compressor (the part that is outside).
