To install a serpentine belt on an '87 S-10 with a 4-cylinder engine, first, locate the belt routing diagram, usually found on a sticker near the radiator or on the engine cover. Use a wrench or ratchet to relieve tension on the belt tensioner, allowing you to remove the old belt. Then, follow the routing diagram to position the new belt around the pulleys, ensuring it sits properly in the grooves. Finally, release the tensioner to apply tension to the new belt, making sure it is correctly aligned before starting the engine.
Loosen the tensioner pulley. The serpentine belt will become loose and can be removed. Put the new serpentine belt on and tighten the tensioner pulley.
no the serpentine belt is totally separate from timing belt
you have to loose the belt in order to slide it out by releasing tension on the tensioner pulley ,what you do it`s sore of a tight motion clockwise on the tensioner bolt it`ll loosen the belt and then you can slide it out, to install it do the same.
It is a idler pulley.
It is the unit in the top right corner of the serpentine belt path.
UNDER THE HOOD THERE WILL BE A DIAGRAM
The diagram is on the radiator fan shroud.
Find the idler tensioner pulley and retract it. You then will be able to easily remove and replace the belt.
insert a 1/2" rachet into the tension pully, pull clock wise this will relive the tension on the belt thus allowing you to remove the belt repet to install new belt. make sure the groves of the belt are properly in place before relasing the tension pully back to tension

This is just a guess so take it with a grain of salt. I would buy a belt for the s10 without air conditioning and just bypass the air conditioning pump.
