check tensioner pulley and idler pulley if equipped.
You don't tighten it. It has an idler pulley that keeps the proper tension. If this is an old belt and is loose, then it needs replacing. If you have installed a new belt and it is loose, then either you installed the wrong belt or the idler spring is weak and the idler needs replacing.
No, not that I know of. ZXTuner sells an AC Delete pulley that replaces the compresser with an idler pulley. I have it on two of my ZX2s and it works fine and is easy to install and no new belts are required.

Check the serpentine belt for cracking and "checking" by a close visual examination. Look at the "inside" of the belt where it rides on the pulleys. The grooves should not be cracked, or missing ridges on the inside of the belt. Also, check the idler/tensioner pulley bearing for noise/wear. I changed mine when I replaced the spur ( timing ) drive belt and tensioner/idler pulley/shock absorber at 100,000mi. I also replaced the AC compressor drive belt and idler/tensioner pulley at that time.
Use a strap wrench or chain wrench on the pulley to hold it secure.
