You did not list Make, Model, Year, or Engine Size. So all I can tell you is that the vast majority of vehicles with a timing chain have a self tensioner that keeps the tension tight. If the chain it loose or noisy then it is more than likely worn out or the tensioner needs replacing or both.
How do you adjust the tension on a serpentine belt on a Pontiac Grand Am?
The belt tension should adjust automatically. There's a thing called a belt tensioner that has a strong spring in it (you can't see the spring) that keeps pressure applied to the belt. This belt tensioner is what makes the serpentine belt so hard to remove. Many times the tensioner is in a difficult place access.
How do you replace the serpentine belt on a 1999 Buick LeSabre?
There is a spring-loaded tensioner pulley that keeps tension on the belt. The tensioner should have a place to fit a ratchet wrench or breaker bar (may or may not need a socket). The tensioner bar rotates clockwise or counterclockwise to release the tension on the belt. Be sure and note how the belt is routed so you will install the new belt in the same pattern. The tensioner is self-adjusting.

The serpentine belt runs from the crankshaft pulley to all the units that need to be turned, alternator, power steering, water pump, etc. There is one pulley that is spring loaded that keeps the correct tension on the belt. That is the tensioner pulley. That can be moved to release the tension on the belt so that the belt can be removed.

If I understand your question correctly, you are asking about a pulley / drive belt tensioner. The drive belt turns the alternator and other auxiliary equipment (sometimes power steering pump) from the crankshaft pulley. The belt tensioner is fitted adjacent to the belt and keeps it under tension automatically by use of a spring. Looking under the bonnet from the front of the car the drive belt and alternator are to the left hand side of the engine.
