Our '94 Cavalier does not have a tension bolt, it simply needs the rightinstallation, as per the diagram on the car. After scraping off the crudwe could see the diagram.
The belt doesn't go in a 'loop' fashion, it loops around the first few thanUP to a pulley and DOWN to last pulley then across to front. .

The center pulley is the "tension" pulley you have to push it down to get the belt on. I also take the top bolt out of the alternator and loosen the bottom one so I can move it forward a little to get it on. I'm a girl and I don't have the muscle power to do it the other way. I also. :-)

If the alternator is driven by a drive belt, the answer is yes. You adjust the tension by loosing the bolts on the alternator mounting brackets and sliding the alternator until the proper tension, (around 1/4" deflection at mid point of the belt) is achieved. If however it has a Serpentine Belt driving the alternator, then there is no adjustment. Tension is held by the idler pulley. If it is loose then the belt is worn out, the idler tensioner is defective, or both.

Where is the adjuster bolt to release fan belt tension on a 1995 Achieva Oldsmobile?
You have no "adjuster bolt". You have a serpentine drive belt and it's tension is maintained by an automatic belt tensioner. It is a pulley mounted on a housing containing a "clock spring" that keeps the belt under a pre-set tension and compensates for belt-wear. It is released by a special belt tool or a flex-drive handle. Mark---Raleigh, NC
