I just did this on my 1993 Volvo 240 wagon. The belt runs from the AC compressor to the Power Steering pump and there is a mounting bracket on the left side with a bolt that can slide up and down to get the correct tension.

Now, in my case, even if I had the bolt all the way at the top of the bracket, the belt was still not tight enough. For a more macro adjustment, the bracket can be moved between two bushing holes. I moved my bracket from the bottom hole to the top hole (bushing came out easily with some wiggling) and that gave me plenty of room to adjust the bolt in the bracket to the right tension.
